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.

2 · The registry

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

Disability in multiple sclerosis is generally classified by sensory and motor symptoms, yet cognitive impairment has been identified as a frequent manifestation already in the early disease stages. Imaging- and more recently blood-based biomarkers have become increasingly important for understanding cognitive decline associated with multiple sclerosis. Thus, we sought to determine the prognostic utility of serum neurofilament light chain levels alone and in combination with MRI markers by examining their ability to predict cognitive impairment in early multiple sclerosis. A comprehensive and detailed assessment of 152 early multiple sclerosis patients (Expanded Disability Status Scale: 1.3 ± 1.2, mean age: 33.0 ± 10.0 years) was performed, which included serum neurofilament light chain measurement, MRI markers (i.e. T
