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

opinion statementPatients with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis have various symptoms which affect their quality of life significantly including depression, cognitive decline, sleep changes, bladder dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and spasticity. Despite recent promising results on the effects of ocrelizumab on neurological disability in patients with PPMS, currently none of the immunomodulatory therapies are approved for progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. Therefore, clinicians currently mostly focus on management of well-recognized comorbidities of this disease phenotype in order to improve patients' quality of life. There are very few studies evaluating strategies of symptomatic management on progressive forms of multiple sclerosis and most of the data is derived from studies on relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Understanding of the risks, benefits, and limitations of these therapies can significantly affect patient care. In this article, we review common comorbidities associated with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis and outline important strategies for their symptomatic management.
