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

Cognitive dysfunction is highly prevalent, disabling, and poorly managed in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, not all persons with MS present with cognitive impairment despite having grey and white matter pathology. To explain such an observation, much attention has been drawn to other factors, namely the concept of reserve (i.e., protection against clinical manifestations of neurological damage). There is a growing body of evidence supporting brain reserve and cognitive reserve for mitigating the deleterious effects of MS pathology on cognition in MS. Measurement and maintenance of reserve is paramount. The current review addresses measures of brain and cognitive reserve, separately, that have been adopted in MS research. These measures are largely based on genetics and premorbid behavior. We propose that reserve may not be limited to premorbid factors that are not highly amenable to change. Rather, reserve can be built and maintained over time based on ongoing participation in cognitively stimulating activities. We conclude with recommendations for future research on reserve in MS samples. This will provide keen insight into potential applications for building reserve and ultimately improving the well-being of those with MS across multiple domains.
