Effects of teriflunomide treatment on cognitive performance and brain volume in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis: Post hoc analysis of the TEMSO core and extension studies.
Article in Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 9 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.
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Design Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Teriflunomide in Reducing the Frequency of Relapses and Delaying the Accumulation of Physical Disability in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis With Relapses
Long-term Extension of the Multinational, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study EFC6049 (HMR1726D/3001) to Document the Safety of Two Doses of Teriflunomide (7 and 14 mg) in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis With Relapses

Abstract
backgroundIn post hoc analyses of Teriflunomide Multiple Sclerosis Oral study (TEMSO; NCT00134563), teriflunomide 14 mg significantly reduced brain volume loss (BVL) versus placebo in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS).
objectiveIn this post hoc analysis of TEMSO and its long-term extension (NCT00803049), we examined the relationship between teriflunomide's effects on BVL and cognition.
methodsWe analyzed data from 709 patients who received teriflunomide 14 mg in TEMSO or its extension. The change in cognitive performance, assessed using the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test 3 (PASAT-3), was measured in subgroups stratified by BVL over 2 years (least BVL: ⩽ 0.52%; intermediate BVL: >0.52%-2.18%; most BVL: >2.18%). BVL, MRI lesions, and relapses over 2 years were evaluated as potential mediators of the effect of teriflunomide on cognition.
resultsTeriflunomide 14 mg significantly improved PASAT-3
conclusionTeriflunomide improves cognition largely through its effects on BVL. Accelerated BVL earlier in the disease course may predict cognitive outcomes. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT00134563, NCT00803049.
