1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Current data suggest that as many as 1 in 1000 treated individuals may develop progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML) in concert with the use of natalizumab. Natalizumab was withdrawn in early 2005. The present paper provides a comprehensive description of PML and reviews the role of natalizumab in the pathogenesis of PML. It is likely that use of drugs which cause specific perturbations of the immune system will be accompanied by similar rare infections. Thus researchers should be on the alert when using such agents in clinical trials.
