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: Cladribine shows efficacy in multiple sclerosis (MS), but Latin American (LATAM) real-world data is limited, despite potential sociodemographic variations. Objective: Investigate baseline characteristics and clinical response in highly active MS patients in Mexico, identifying predictors of early treatment response. Method: A multicenter cohort study analyzed retrospective data from individuals with "highly active" MS in the Cladribine Patient Support Program across 11 Mexican clinics. Criteria included one-year prior treatment with another disease-modifying treatment and recent relapse with specific MRI findings. Primary outcomes focused on achieving NEDA-3 status after 12 months. Results: In the follow-up, 67.5% maintained NEDA-3 status. Baseline EDSS scores decreased significantly from 1.50 to 1.00 ( Conclusion: Cladribine showed early and effective control of active MS in Mexican patients, demonstrating a secure profile with minimal adverse events. This study provides valuable real-world evidence in the LATAM context.
