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 an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that predominantly affects young adults. The genetic contributions to this multifactorial disease were underscored by genome wide association studies and independent replication studies. A weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) was recently established using the identified MS risk loci in order to predict MS outcome including clinical and paraclinical features. Here, we present the results on a family with several affected siblings including a monozygotic triplet. The individuals were genotyped for 57 non-MHC risk loci as well as the HLA DRB1*1501 tagging SNP rs3135388 with subsequent calculation of the wGRS. Additionally, SNP array based analyses for aberrant chromosomal regions were performed for all individuals.
