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

purposeTo report three cases of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)-associated uveitis whose ocular inflammation responded well to ofatumumab. CASE PRESENTATIONS: Case 1: A 26-year-old male with bilateral MS-associated occlusive retinal vasculitis presented with 1 + vitreous cell in both eyes and diffuse vascular leakage in both eyes on fluorescein angiography (FA). After treatment with ofatumumab for 19 months, there was significant improvement in vitreous cell and vascular leakage bilaterally. Case 2: A 41-year-old male with bilateral MS-associated intermediate uveitis presented with 2 + vitreous cell bilaterally. FA demonstrated bilateral vascular leakage with cystoid macular edema. After transitioning to ofatumumab from ocrelizumab and corticosteroid injections, exam remained quiet with resolved FA leakage bilaterally without further injections for 10 months. Case 3: A 51 year old female with MS initially presented with 2 + AC cell in the left eye and was started on mycophenolate mofetil with improvement but was unable to wean off topical corticosteroids. After switching to ofatumumab, she remained quiet on prednisolone acetate once daily in both eyes for nine months.

conclusionWhile the benefits of ofatumumab have been well reported in MS, this is the first case report to describe the successful treatment of MS-associated uveitis with ofatumumab. Ofatumumab may prove to be an effective therapeutic option for these patients, with the additional benefit of self-administration. Further studies would be beneficial to identify the patients who would most benefit from this treatment.
