A review of the validation of the Brief Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis in Latin America.

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: The present review aimed to identify published studies that reported the validation of the Brief Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) in Latin America (LATAM). Methods: To compile a comprehensive list of available validation studies, we performed a systematic review of the literature via an electronic search of PubMed and Web of Science via the keywords "Validation," "Brief Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis," "BICAMS," and "Latin America." Results: Twenty-seven sources of validation studies for the BICAMS were identified. Of the 27 citations identified, only four provide validation of the BICAMS in LATAM. These studies include a comparison of cognitive performance between multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and healthy controls (HCs) across all three BICAMS tests. Overall, the studies included a greater proportion of patients with RRMS and middle-aged adults and included participants with wide ranges of education levels. Conclusion: We provide a detailed description of the BICAMS validation currently available for people living in LATAM. Although the validation of tests in diverse populations has gained interest in the field, there is still a need for more studies among people from LATAM countries.
