Monoclonal antibody treatments for multiple sclerosis.
Article in Current treatment options in neurology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) may have great potential as therapies for autoimmune diseases. Their development as treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS) is promising. Partially effective immunomodulatory therapies have been helpful for many MS patients; however, for patients failing these immunomodulatory treatments, MAbs are an important new treatment option. Currently, MAbs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of many conditions, including autoimmune diseases. This article reviews four MAbs that have been investigated as potential treatments for MS. Of these MAbs, natalizumab is approved for treatment of MS. The other three MAbs (alemtuzumab, rituximab, and daclizumab) are all promising therapies in development for treatment of MS. Adverse effects are relatively mild for these MAbs; however, care in administration and management of these agents is emphasized. Overall, these MAb therapies have great promise in the treatment of MS.
