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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease, where T-cells attack the myelin sheath in the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by relapsing-remitting episodes, or gradually increasing severity of symptoms and disability that accumulate over time. While current MS therapies have been proven in clinical trials to provide significant benefits, they cater only to subsets of patients. Moreover, there is an acute need to identify the most effective and safe treatment appropriate for each patient prospectively, since early intervention has been proven to prevent accumulation of irreversible dysfunction. In this review we discuss the current state-of-the-art in pharmacogenetic research as applied to the common marketed and in-development MS treatments, with respect to both efficacy and safety aspects. We conclude by discussing the relevance of pharmacogenetics and other biomarkers to the prediction, prevention and personalization of MS medications in the horizon.
