Use of Fingolimod in the Management of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Experience from Latin America.
Review in Advances in therapy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
unlabelledOnce-daily fingolimod 0.5 mg (FTY720; Gilenya(®), Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland) is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator that is approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS); currently, this includes approval in 13 Latin American countries. However, despite a well-characterized efficacy and safety profile in a large clinical development program, thus far there has been limited representation of patients from across the Latin American region. Differences in MS disease characteristics have been reported for the Latin American population compared with Caucasians, which may be additional to recent improvements in MS diagnosis. Furthermore, healthcare provision and regional socioeconomic factors exist that are unique to Latin America compared with other regions. Therefore, to optimize MS treatment pathways and improve patient clinical outcomes, it is important to investigate the efficacy and safety profile of fingolimod using ethnically relevant data. Here, we review key data from Hispanic patients enrolled in the fingolimod clinical trial program, summarize recent findings from the FIRST LATAM study, and appraise fingolimod data from real-world patient populations.
