Multiple Sclerosis Nursing to Improve Care and Education (MSNICE): an observational study.

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
objectiveTo explore differences in patient reported outcomes, health care resources and expenditures in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) with or without access to an MS-nurse. METHODOLOGY: An observational, multicenter and cross-sectional study was conducted. Seven centers with, and twelve centers without an MS-nurse participated. The multiple sclerosis impact scale-29 (MSIS-29) was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures included: hospital anxiety and depression scale, coping measures, health-economic and disease-knowledge parameters.
resultsThree hundred thirty-four pwMS were included, of which 196 had access to an MS-nurse. Mean age was 44.5 ± 11.4 and 69% were women. The median expanded disability status scale and patient determined disease steps were respectively 2.0 (IQR 2.5) and 2.5 (IQR 3). No statistical significant differences between centers with or without an MS-nurse were observed for the MSIS-29 (total) (mean ranks: 169.9 vs. 157.8; Z = -1.114; p = .253), depression (X²= 1,772, p = .412), anxiety (X²= 0.446, p = .800) or health expenditures. MS-disease knowledge was higher in patients followed in centers with an MS-nurse than in centers without (17.08(3.37) vs. 15.30(3.39), t(331) = 4.734, p < .001).
conclusionWe did not observe clinical differences regarding HRQoL in pwMS between centers with and without an MS-nurse. Yet, we did observe a higher level of MS-specific knowledge in pwMS who had access to an MS-nurse, which may emphasize the important role of MS-nurses in educating and improving self-efficacy and adherence.
