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

aimsThis retrospective cohort study describes real-world safety and tolerability outcomes in United States-based edaravone-treated patients with ALS. PATIENTS &

methodsAmerita Specialty Infusion Services provided IV edaravone to patients with ALS treated with their first dose between 25 September 2017-30 September 2022. Mean ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) scores and forced vital capacity (FVC) %-predicted measures were recorded within ± 100 days from care initiation to approximate baseline values.

resultsIncluded patients (

conclusionsTreatment discontinuation was primarily related to ALS disease progression/death, rather than safety or tolerability. This study representative of real-world patients with ALS suggests that edaravone showed consistent safety and tolerability profiles with previous studies.
