Patient and nurse preference for Sensoready autoinjector pen versus other autoinjectors in multiple sclerosis: results from a pilot multicenter survey.
Article in BMC neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSensoready® autoinjector pen facilitates self-administration of subcutaneous ofatumumab injections at home. We aim to investigate patient and nurse preference for using Sensoready® versus comparator autoinjectors in multiple sclerosis (MS).
methodsA pilot survey was conducted in Germany followed by in-field interviews across United States, Germany, France, and Italy. The survey recruited 80 MS patients and 50 MS nurses. Respondents were interviewed for 45-min on qualitative open-ended and quantitative close-ended survey consisting of 31 questions for patients and 41 for nurses. Ratings were measured on Likert scale from 1 (not at all important) to 10 (extremely important).
results"Easy to perform self-injection with the pen" and "Patient able to use independently" (both, mean overall score 9.4) were the most important attributes for both patients and nurses. Sensoready® scored high across most important attributes for both patients and nurses (p < 0.05). Sensoready® was preferred over comparator devices across majority of the important attributes (84%; p < 0.05), especially ease of use of the pen (mean overall score 9.4). Sensoready® was preferred over their current device by 9/10 nurses and 8/10 patients if they had to choose a treatment based on the device alone.
conclusionBoth MS patients and nurses preferred the Sensoready® (ofatumumab) over comparator autoinjectors for their treatment, mostly driven by ease of administration.
