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

Immunosuppressive agents have been used in multiple sclerosis (MS) for decades. The approval of several immunomodulatory agents against MS beginning in the 1990s, whose putative mechanisms of action appeared "more MS-specific," curtailed the importance of immunosuppressants, which made them treatment options of second choice. However, with the recent approval of mitoxantrone for treatment of patients with active forms of relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive MS and with a number of oral immunosuppressive agents being assessed in phase II and III clinical trials, a "renaissance" of this type of agents is currently occurring. This review provides an outline of the most important clinical studies and discusses relevant side effects of the major immunosuppressants (i.e., mitoxantrone, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, cladribine, and sirolimus/temsirolimus). The current knowledge of the putative mechanisms of action of these compounds is discussed.
