Review in Neurology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) presents an emerging, highly specific therapeutic strategy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). mAbs target selective molecules and have shown early promise, along with notable risks, in the treatment of MS and other immune-mediated diseases. The mechanism of action of the 4 mAbs under active investigation for MS (natalizumab, rituximab, alemtuzumab, and daclizumab) are reviewed, with a discussion of how mAb interaction with each target antigen may produce direct and indirect effects (proven and hypothesized) on immune cell activity, CNS-related inflammatory processes, and clinical outcomes.
