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

The optic nerve is frequently involved in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, MRI of the optic nerve is considered optional in the differential diagnosis of optic neuropathy symptoms either at presentation or in established MS. In addition, unlike spinal cord imaging in comparable scenarios, no role is currently recommended for optic nerve MRI in patients presenting with optic neuritis for its confirmation, to plan therapeutic strategy, within the MS diagnostic framework, nor for the detection of subclinical activity in established MS. In this article, evidence related to these 3 aspects will be summarized and gaps in knowledge will be highlighted, including (1) the acquisition challenges and novel sequences that assess pathologic changes within the anterior visual pathways; (2) the clinical implications of quantitative magnetic resonance studies of the optic nerve, focusing on atrophy measures, magnetization transfer, and diffusion tensor imaging; and (3) the relevant clinical studies performed to date. Finally, an algorithm for the application of optic nerve MRI will be proposed to guide future studies aimed at addressing our knowledge gaps.
