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: Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves symptoms that may be impacted by angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent pro-angiogenic molecule, is elevated in early MS, but its activity in later disease is understudied. [Met Objectives: To determine salient symptoms of MS and evaluate relationships between common MS symptoms and angiogenesis-associated biomarkers. Methods: PwMS and non-MS control participants were identified for this cross-sectional study. Walking times and self-reported fatigue, anxiety, depression, and pain were measured. Serum VEGF and [Met Results: PwMS ( Conclusion: Fatigue is a salient MS symptom when compared to non-MS controls. Imbalanced pro- and anti-angiogenic signaling may influence fatigue in established MS, but further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to elucidate this potential relationship.
