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

Multiple sclerosis treatment made substantial headway during the last two decades with the implementation of therapeutics with new modes of action and routes of application. We are now in the situation that second-generation molecules, approved since 2018, are on the market, characterized by reduced side effects using a more tailored therapeutic approach. Diroximel fumarate is a second-generation fumarate with reduced gastrointestinal side effects. Moreover, several novel, selective, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators with reduced off-target effects have been developed; namely siponimod, ozanimod, and ponesimod; all oral formulations. B-cell-targeted therapies such as ocrelizumab, given intravenously, and since 2021 ofatumumab, applied subcutaneously, complement the spectrum of novel therapies. The glycoengineered antibody ublituximab is the next anti-CD20 therapy about to be approved. Within the next years, oral inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, currently under investigation in several phase III trials, may be licensed for multiple sclerosis. Those developments currently offer an individualized multiple sclerosis therapy, targeting patient needs with substantial effects on relapses, disability progression, and implications for daily life. In this up-to-date review, we provide a holistic overview about novel developments of the therapeutic landscape and upcoming approaches for multiple sclerosis treatment.
