In one paragraph

Review in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06843382 (Real-World Comparative Effects of Teriflunomide and Dimethyl Fumarate on Physical and Cognitive Fatigability in Multiple Sclerosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system by causing inflammation, demyelination and neurodegeneration. Fatigue is the most prevalent and one of the most disabling symptoms among people with MS (pwMS). Due to its complexity and subjective character, fatigue is still little understood despite its frequent occurrence and severe impact. The potential causes, effects, and treatments of fatigue associated with MS have been extensively studied in recent years. Though the benefits of such a variety of contributions are obvious, there have not been many attempts to evaluate the effect of disease modifying therapies (DMTs) on MS-related fatigue. In this review, we summarize clinical trials and research studies, and we discuss the effect of different DMTs on MS-related fatigue.
