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.

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.

Abstract

Observational studies and registries can play a critical role in elucidating the natural and treated history of multiple sclerosis (MS) and identifying factors associated with outcomes such as disability and health-related quality of life. The North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) Registry is one of multiple registries worldwide that focuses on people with MS, but one of the very few patient-driven MS registries. On the 25th anniversary of the first data collection for the NARCOMS Registry, we discuss the importance of disease registries in the MS field, describe key concepts related to registry design and management, and highlight findings from MS registries relevant to clinical care or health policy.
