Progressive multiple sclerosis patients have a higher burden of autonomic dysfunction compared to relapsing remitting phenotype.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
objectiveTo determine autonomic dysfunction (AD) differences in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (pwRRMS) and progressive MS (pwPMS).
methodsComposite autonomic scoring scale (CASS) and heart rate variability (HRV) were performed in 40 pwRRMS and 30 pwPMS.
resultspwPMS had a significantly higher sudomotor index and total CASS score compared to pwRRMS (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Disease duration positively correlated with sudomotor index and total CASS (r
conclusionThere is a significant difference in autonomic function in pwRRMS and pwPMS; with pwPMS having a higher burden of AD, which is particularly evident for sweating dysfunction. SIGNIFICANCE: Further research is needed to establish whether parasympathetic and sudomotor dysfunction may serve as markers of progressive MS.
