Treatment Satisfaction with Teriflunomide in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies.
Review in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2024. 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: Research on treatment satisfaction with treatments of multiple sclerosis (MS) is essential for delivering patient-centered care and improving treatment adherence. We aimed to review studies that have used the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) to assess treatment satisfaction with teriflunomide in patients with MS. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched by 2 independent reviewers to identify all relevant studies. Studies were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of observational studies was appraised using the 14-item National Institute of Health Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. Results: The search strategy was employed and 97 possible publications were found. After carefully reviewing the titles, abstracts, and full texts, a total of 9 articles have been selected for inclusion in the review. In all studies, teriflunomide had been prescribed in the treatment group, and in all studies, some patients had received previous disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Study periods of all studies were between 3 months to 24 months. The results showed that all studies were of relatively high quality. In all studies, 4 domains of TSQM, especially the convenience domain, were improved after treatment with teriflunomide. Mean scores of the convenience domain in patients treated with teriflunomide were higher than other DMTs but some studies showed that some other DMTs may provide higher scores in other domains of TSQM. Conclusion: Treatment with teriflunomide improves satisfaction in patients with MS.
