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

Background and objectives: Ublituximab, a novel, glycoengineered anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, has recently entered clinical use for multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we aimed to delineate the longitudinal kinetics of circulating lymphocyte subsets over the first 6 months following ublituximab initiation. Secondarily, we aimed to investigate whether relevant baseline demographic and clinical characteristics predicted the residual counts at day 30 after infusion of CD3 Methods: A real-world prospective study was performed at the MS Center of Foggia, Italy. Inclusion criteria were patients with a diagnosis of relapsing MS who started ublituximab between 1 December 2024 and 31 May 2025. Longitudinal trajectories were modeled with subject-specific random-intercept linear mixed-effects models. To identify determinants of early residual depletion, linear regression models were built. Results: A total cohort of 16 patients was enrolled, with a median age of 47 (Q1-Q3 41-58), 69% men, median EDSS of 4.5, and median body mass index (BMI) of 26.9 kg/m Discussion: In our cohort, ublituximab induced rapid, durable CD19
