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

Interferon (IFN) beta-1b was the first disease-modifying therapy to be approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), and over 21 years of follow-up data demonstrate its efficacy and long-term safety profile. Following recent regulatory approvals in the USA and European Union, IFN beta-1b is now one of the seven disease-modifying therapies [intramuscular IFN beta-1a; subcutaneous (SC) IFN beta-1a; IFN beta-1b SC; glatiramer acetate SC; oral dimethyl fumarate; oral teriflunomide; and intravenous alemtuzumab] indicated for first-line use in relapsing-remitting MS. Here we review the clinical trial and follow-up data for IFN beta-1b and discuss factors that clinicians may consider when selecting this treatment, both at first line in early MS, and later in the disease course.
