Evaluating patient care in multiple sclerosis: Impact of combined digital tools and holistic management strategies.
Article in Multiple sclerosis journal - experimental, translational and clinical. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Innovations are essential to meet the needs of people with MS (PwMS), particularly in addressing delays in diagnosis and treatment, and in supporting patient self-management. Objectives: To evaluate the real-world use and outcomes of digital technologies and holistic management strategies for MS at a UK Centre. Methods: Digital tools for PwMS included Patients Know Best (a personal health record) and CONNECTPlus Results: Trends indicated a higher likelihood of disease progression in patients with delayed MS diagnosis (p < 0.001), and a reduction in time from diagnosis to DMT initiation, from an average of 23.5 to 5.8 months (p = 0.024), post-MS Infoflex disease management database implementation. Non-elective admissions and healthcare costs also decreased compared to neighbouring hospitals. Conclusions: Digital and holistic interventions were associated with positive trends in MS care delivery. Further research is needed to validate these findings.
