Feasibility of a registry-integrated eHealth program for managing fatigue and cognitive problems 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
Objectives: Fatigue and cognitive impairment are common in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). This study evaluated the feasibility of a digital symptom management program integrated into the Finnish MS Registry targeting fatigue and cognitive symptoms. Materials and Methods: Forty pwMS with subjective fatigue and cognitive concerns enrolled in an eight-session eHealth program including symptom self-assessments, a mobile fatigue diary, individualized goal setting, and feedback from a neuropsychologist. Feasibility outcomes were completion rate, perceived usefulness, and technical functionality. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) included the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS), Global Rating of Change (GRC), Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Functions, Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Questionnaire, patient-reported Expanded Disability Status Scale, Visual Analogue Scales for neurological symptoms, and EQ-5D-5L. Results: Twenty-three participants (58%) completed the program with follow-up. The program was rated useful by 65% and technically appropriate by 70%. The mean GAS T-score was 50 both postintervention and at follow-up. Mean GRC scores indicated slightly positive change in managing fatigue (+1.4), cognitive symptoms (+1.3), and overall effects (+1.8). Other PROM changes were minimal. Conclusions: The registry-integrated eHealth program showed potential to support the management of fatigue and cognitive symptoms in pwMS. Further development and evaluation of digital symptom management tools are warranted.
