Cerebrospinal fluid and serum prealbumin (transthyretin) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS): comparison of particular subgroups of MS patients.
Article in Folia microbiologica, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The levels of prealbumin (PAB, transthyretin) were determined and evaluated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum in various subgroups of the multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. In severely disabled patients, serum PAB was elevated more frequently. CSF and serum PAB concentrations were higher in treated than in nontreated patients; the values above the upper reference limits were also more frequently found in treated patients. PAB index showed a tendency to decrease during the course of the disease. The routine determination of PAB in CSF and serum is, therefore, recommended to be recognized in MS patients as a substantial clinical value and, thus, be comprised, including also immunoglobulins and other parameters, into the spectrum of characteristics in Protein Panel.
