[Multiple sclerosis : rehabilitation and long-term course].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a highly complex disabling disease with variable pathology and clinical course. Progressive multisystemic involvement of the central nervous system leads to complex functional disturbances and disabilities. Despite disease-modifying therapies and pharmacological symptomatic treatment, the majority of MS patients develop progressive impairments in functions, activities and quality of life in the long-term. Rehabilitation interventions aim at improving symptoms and functional deficits and reducing the negative impact on activities and social participation.
objectivesTo evaluate the impact and value of rehabilitation interventions in MS.
methodsSpecific literature search in PubMed.
resultsGood evidence exists for a positive effect of various rehabilitation interventions and multidisciplinary programs. Long-term prognosis is very variable and depends on various influencing factors. Due to an often unpredictable change of disease activity and the high variability, accurate prediction of long-term prognosis in individual MS cases is still challenging.
conclusionRehabilitation measures should be considered in an early phase of the disease for maintaining functional abilities and reducing the risk of progression of disabilities. Assignment to specific interventions and setting of rehabilitation depend on disease-specific and personal factors and specific goals. Monosyndromic or oligosyndromic impairments in the early phases of the disease can be approached by targeted monodisciplinary ambulatory interventions, whereas more severe and complex disabilities generally necessitate a more intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation.
