A Case of Late-Onset Neutropenia in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Following Ocrelizumab Therapy.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ocrelizumab, a monoclonal antibody, has proven effective in treating both primary progressive and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Common adverse effects observed in clinical studies include flushing, sore throat, pruritus, and rash. This abstract discusses a case of severe, late-onset neutropenia in a patient with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis undergoing ocrelizumab treatment. The neutropenia emerged 46 days following the patient's most recent ocrelizumab dose. The patient responded well to treatment with intravenous meropenem and filgrastim. This rare and unforeseen adverse effect highlights the importance of regular blood monitoring for early detection of severe neutropenia in patients treated with ocrelizumab.
