Topical review: Lactation and use of DMTs in women with MS.
Review in Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
One in three females with multiple sclerosis (MS) becomes pregnant after diagnosis. In the postpartum period, there is a risk of rebound inflammatory activity. This risk can likely be reduced with breastfeeding, as well as with early initiation of effective therapies that have low therapeutic lag. To guide patients in their choices surrounding breastfeeding and MS therapies, clinicians must be familiar with how best to protect against relapses, to ensure infant safety, and to support breastfeeding choices. This topical review provides a broad framework on lactation in women with MS. It seeks to reframe guidelines around caring for the maternal-infant dyad, and for diverse populations living with MS. It also provides updated data on the effects of lactation in women with MS and the limited data on transfer of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) into breastmilk. The ultimate goal is to support informed shared decision-making between clinicians and patients regarding breastfeeding during the high-risk postpartum period.
