Assessing the Health Economic Outcomes from Commercially Insured Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Patients Who Switched from Other Disease-Modifying Therapies to Teriflunomide, in the United States.

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
Objective: Assess patient characteristics, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), and relapses in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who switched to teriflunomide from other disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Methods: Retrospective study of US Merative™ MarketScan Results: The analyzed cohort (N=2016) was primarily female (79%); age (mean ± standard deviation) 51.4 ± 9.3 years; MS duration 4.7±2.8 years (at index). The majority (89.2%) were treated with one DMT before switching to teriflunomide. Use of outpatient services (event rate/100 person-years) increased post vs pre index; however, MRI visits significantly reduced over the same period (both Conclusion: Switching to teriflunomide from existing DMTs in patients with relapsing MS resulted in a reduction in outpatient HCRU in this analysis of US claims data. The real-world effectiveness of teriflunomide was generally consistent with efficacy reported in clinical trials, showing a reduction in relapse following a switch to teriflunomide.
