Social characteristics and quality of life of portuguese multiple sclerosis patients.
Article in Neurology and therapy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionFew studies have analyzed the importance of socio-demographic variables on the perception of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
methodsThe sample was composed of 150 patients with MS. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H non-parametric tests comparing socio-demographic items with HRQoL.
resultsWe found statistically significant differences between age, education levels, employment status, disability and all dimensions of HRQoL. DISCUSSION: This study contributes to a more systematic knowledge about the relationship between social characteristics and HRQoL, which is important to improve the planning of health care in MS patients.
conclusionWe found that younger patients, those with higher education level, those who were employed, and with lower disease progression and lower disability, had better HRQoL.
