Fingolimod as an effective therapeutic strategy for pediatric relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: two case reports.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Approximately 3-10% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have onset during childhood. Pediatric MS is characterized by a relapsing-remitting course and a high relapse rate. In 2010, fingolimod (Gilenya®) was approved in the USA for the treatment of relapsing-remitting MS in adults. In 2018, both the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency expanded the approved indications of fingolimod to include its use in children with relapsing MS, and the drug was approved in Italy for this indication in September 2020. We describe two cases of children with relapsing-remitting MS who were treated with fingolimod at IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele Multiple Sclerosis Center (Milan, Italy) for more than 2 years. Our real-world data confirm that fingolimod is an effective therapeutic strategy for children with relapsing MS, and its use could be considered in pediatric patients with active disease.
