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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveWe explored dynamic changes in the choroid plexus (CP) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and assessed its relationship with chronic lesion expansion and atrophy in various brain compartments.

methodsFifty-seven RRMS patients were annually assessed for a minimum of 48 months with 3D FLAIR, pre- and post-contrast 3D T1 and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The CP was manually segmented at baseline and last follow-up.

resultsThe volume of CP significantly increased by 1.4% annually. However, the extent of CP enlargement varied considerably among individuals (ranging from -3.6 to 150.8 mm

conclusionThis study provides evidence of progressive CP enlargement in patients with RRMS. Our findings also demonstrate that enlargement of the CP volume is linked to the expansion of chronic lesions and neurodegeneration of periventricular white and grey matter in RRMS patients.
