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.

Abstract

backgroundThe double-blind TERIKIDS study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of teriflunomide.

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of continuous teriflunomide treatment in the TERIKIDS open-label extension.

methodsIn the double-blind period, children with relapsing MS were randomized to placebo or teriflunomide (14 mg adult-equivalent dose) for ⩽ 96 weeks. Participants received teriflunomide for ⩽ 192 weeks post-randomization in the open-label extension.

resultsThe mean age at screening was 14.6 years. For teriflunomide/teriflunomide versus placebo/teriflunomide, estimated clinical relapse risk was reduced by 38% (hazard ratio (HR) 0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39-0.98;

conclusionTeriflunomide reduced the long-term risk of focal inflammatory activity, with generally manageable tolerability and no new safety signals. Further evidence would strengthen clinical efficacy findings.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02201108.
