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

Current care in multiple sclerosis (MS) primarily relies on infrequently obtained data such as magnetic resonance imaging, clinical laboratory tests or clinical history, resulting in subtle changes that may occur between visits being missed. Mobile technology enables continual collection of data and can pave the path for predicting complex aspects of MS such as symptoms and disease courses. To this end, we conducted a first-of-its-kind observational study called MS Mosaic. First, we developed and publicly launched a mobile app for collecting longitudinal data from MS subjects in the United States. Second, we ran the study across 3 years in order to capture complex patterns for this slow progressing disease. Finally, we retrospectively developed three classical ML methods and two deep learning models to accurately and continually predict the incidence of five high-severity symptoms (fatigue, sensory disturbance, walking instability, depression or anxiety and cramps/spasms) three months in advance.
