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

Natalizumab therapy is associated with an increased risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Because the prognosis of established PML is uniformly dismal, identification of highly susceptible patients to the disease may improve outcomes. We wanted to investigate whether serial plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) screening for polyomavirus would identify patients with laboratory evidence of viral infection prior to the development of clinical PML. Two hundred MS patients had pre-treatment CSF/plasma screening for JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) DNA, and thereafter every six treatments of natalizumab. In all positive patients treatment is stopped (due to potential risk of PML), they have follow-up clinical examinations and plasma/CSF JCV/BKV tests until all evaluations are normal. No patient developed clinical evidence of PML. Eight of the 200 patients had detectable JCV or BKV DNA. Five patients were positive for BKV DNA in the CSF and three patients were positive for JCV DNA (one in plasma, two in CSF). After cessation of natalizumab treatment, all patients converted to undetectable viral DNA. Screening for JCV in CSF in natalizumab-treated patients could help identify those at heightened risk for developing PML and discontinuing treatment in these patients may abort development of the clinical illness.
