Psychological resilience is linked to motor strength and gait endurance in early multiple sclerosis.

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
backgroundPsychologically resilient persons persist despite obstacles and bounce back after adversity, leading to better outcomes in non-neurologic populations. It is unknown whether psychological resilience relates to objective functional outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS).
objectiveTo determine whether psychological resilience explains differential objective cognitive and motor functioning in persons with early MS.
methodsPsychological resilience was assessed in 185 patients with early MS and 50 matched healthy controls with the
resultsHigher CDRS-10 among patients was linked to better MSFC and motor outcomes (but not cognition), with the most robust relationships for gross motor function (grip strength, gait endurance). Findings were independent of mood and fatigue. CDRS-10 was unrelated to MS disease burden. CDRS-10 was also specifically linked to motor outcomes in healthy controls.
conclusionFunctional outcomes vary across persons with MS, even when disease burden and neurologic disability are low. These findings identify high psychological resilience as a non-disease-specific contributor to motor strength and endurance, which may explain differential outcomes across patients.
