[Multiple sclerosis: interventions to halt disease : Which patients can be considered for autologous stem cell transplantation].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAutologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) is gaining increasing prominence in the therapeutic landscape. This review article focuses on describing the evidence and European guidelines for aHSCT so that neurologists in Germany can consider this treatment option for appropriate MS patients. In this context, it must be taken into consideration that in every case a cost transfer must be individually applied for.
aimTo provide information for neurologists considering aHSCT for patients with MS. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this narrative review articles from PubMed were pooled and analyzed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: High quality data from randomized, controlled clinical trials are required to compare the efficacy of aHSCT to the currently available highly effective disease-modifying therapies (DMT) so that reliable conclusions can be drawn regarding the relationship between the risks and benefits of aHSCT in MS; however, the studies discussed in this review provide important points of reference for patient selection and the transplantation protocol. Further advice is available from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) for experienced centers considering aHSCT. The available data and the European guidelines suggest that patients aged less than 45 years, an expanded disability status scale (EDSS) ≤ 5.5, highly active MS, a disease duration of less than 10 years, an ineffective course of DMT or rapidly progressive MS may be eligible for aHSCT and should be referred to an experienced center for further assessment.
