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

While relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) has many therapeutic options, progressive forms of MS remain largely untreatable. Phase 2 clinical trials are our main tool to advance new treatments for progressive MS. Given the complexities of progressive MS, it will likely require many phase 2 trials to improve its treatment. To conduct informative and efficient phase 2 trials, it is important that such trials are designed in a way that they can identify a successful treatment as quickly and with as few participants as possible. In this topical review, we discuss cohort selection, outcome selection, cohort enrichment, and dosing selection as strategies to optimize the efficiency of phase 2 clinical trials in progressive MS.
