The impact of early life stress on patient-reported outcomes in multiple sclerosis.
Article in Multiple sclerosis journal - experimental, translational and clinical. 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: Early life stress (ELS) has been implicated in the risk of developing autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS), but less is known about its relationship to the clinical course of MS. Objective: Investigate the relationship between ELS and MS patient-reported outcomes (PRO). Methods: In a single-center, cross-sectional study, persons with MS completed a composite of surveys assessing ELS and PRO including the adverse childhood experiences (ACE) survey, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, MS Performance Scales, MS Impact Scale (MSIS-29) and MS Quality of Life (MSQOL-54). Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the associations between ELS and outcomes while adjusting for potential confounding variables. Results: A total of 133 persons with MS completed the study. ELS was significantly associated with worse outcomes on the MSQOL-54. Persons with MS with ACE score ≥ 4 were 25.6 points lower (95% CI -15.7 to -35.6) on the Mental Health Composite and 24.6 points lower (95% CI -14.4 to -34.8) on the Physical Health Composite scores of the MSQOL-54. ELS was also associated with worse outcomes on the MS Performance Scale and the MSIS-29. Conclusion: In persons with MS, a history of ELS is associated with significantly worse MS symptom burden and quality of life.
