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: Compare the levels of plasma neurofilament light (NfL) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) at acute and remission stages and healthy individuals to explore the role of plasma NfL in monitoring the activity and severity of the disease and predicting disease prognosis. Methods: Information on healthy individuals and patients with MS who visited the outpatient and inpatient departments of Inner Mongolia Medical University Affiliated Hospital from October 2020 to August 2022 was collected. EDSS assessment and plain scan+enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Plasma Nfl levels were measured using Simoa. Moreover, the relationship between the level of Nlf and the disease status of patients with MS was analyzed.. Results: Through the self-comparison of the plasma NfL levels of MS patients in the acute and remission stages, it was noted that the levels in the acute stage are higher than those in the remission stage ( Conclusion: Combining the level of plasma NfL with clinical and MRI estimations will be instrumental in monitoring condition changes and optimizing treatments. The level of plasma NfL is related to the activity and severity of MS, and it is expected to become a new biomarker for assessing the activity and disease status of MS.
