Differences in Income Growth Between People With Multiple Sclerosis and Controls: A Norwegian Cohort Study.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2026. 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine if people with MS (pwMS) experience a different income development from controls, and if so, at what age, and at what time in the disease course.
methodsWe examined income development for pwMS compared to matched controls in a Norwegian cohort. We assessed the impact of both age and time from diagnosis on income using linear mixed-effects models.
resultsMen with MS (mwMS) had, on average, a lower income trajectory compared to controls at an earlier age than women with MS (wwMS) (49 vs. 55 years). For men, the gap was increasing throughout the entire working age, while women were catching up with their controls close to retirement age. Although the absolute difference from controls is larger for mwMS than wwMS from age 50, the difference between the sexes is only statistically significant from age 60. The income increase rate was lower for both mwMS and wwMS compared to controls after being diagnosed with MS. For mwMS, the difference is evident 2 years after diagnosis, and for wwMS, 5 years after diagnosis. The average income loss experienced by mwMS was double that of women from 6 years after diagnosis, but the difference was not statistically significant when comparing the sexes.
conclusionsPwMS have lower income development than controls. Men lose income earlier in life and earlier in the disease course than women.
