Exploring the Prognostic Role of Neurofilaments and SEMA3A in Multiple Sclerosis Progression.
Observational study in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The transition from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) is characterized by an increasing neurodegenerative component. Identifying biomarkers that distinguish these disease stages is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment optimization. This study aimed to compare serum levels of progranulin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A), and neurofilaments between RRMS and SPMS patients and to investigate their correlation with clinical characteristics, including disability measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). This observational study included 118 MS patients (63 RRMS and 55 SPMS). Serum biomarker levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analyses included group comparisons using non-parametric tests and correlation analyses using Pearson's correlation coefficient with multiple testing corrections. While demographic and clinical parameters significantly differed between groups (
