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

introductionPatient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide an insightful method of assessing the subjective impact of therapies for those affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurologic disease notable for symptoms of fatigue and reduced physical function. The ongoing CLAWIR study aims to assess the effect of cladribine tablets (3.5 mg/kg cumulative dose over 2 years) in patients with highly active relapsing MS focusing on PROs of fatigue, physical function, treatment satisfaction, and work productivity. Here, we report on a pre-planned analysis at 12 months after treatment initiation with cladribine tablets.

methodsCLAWIR is a 2-year, multicenter, prospective, observational study of patients with relapsing MS newly initiating cladribine tablets. The following PROs were analyzed: PRO Measurement Information System (PROMIS

resultsIn total, 128 patients were eligible for analysis: 95 females (74.2%); median (range) age 34.5 (29, 44) years; 34 patients (26.6%) were treatment-naïve, and 89 (69.5%) were early switchers from platform therapies (the remaining 5 patients [3.9%] switched from a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy). PROMIS

conclusionThis real-world study demonstrates the effect of cladribine tablets over 12 months on PROs of fatigue, physical function, treatment satisfaction, and work productivity.

trial registrationThe CLAWIR study is registered at the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices with the internal NIS number 7469.
