Breaking Stereotypes: A Unique Presentation of New-Onset Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disorder resulting in demyelination, neuroaxonal degeneration, and sclerosis. This often-debilitating disease affects young females mainly. Literature describing the pathology and phenotypic features is vast. Although there are extensive descriptions of new-onset MS presentations, few document the initial presentation as a transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke. The case we present highlights the rarity of such presentation. In the literature, we found scarce reports about MS as presenting as a stroke mimicker with some studies quoting from 2.2% to 4.4% of the cases having MS. Our case serves as a reminder that MS can mimic acute ischemic strokes and the importance of maintaining MS apart of the differential in a young female with no significant history present with acute neurological deficits to reduce the complications of MS and the healthcare-associated costs.
