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

Evidence regarding neonatal immune outcomes following late-gestation exposure to ofatumumab remains limited. We report a 35-year-old woman with relapsing multiple sclerosis who continued ofatumumab until 28 weeks of gestation following individualized shared decision-making based on informed patient preference. The patient remained clinically and radiologically stable throughout pregnancy. Sustained maternal B-cell depletion enabled early postpartum resumption of maintenance therapy without re-induction. Although neonatal immune status at birth was unavailable, her infant showed normal B-cell counts during follow-up and completed routine vaccinations, including live vaccines, without complications. This case provides clinically relevant longitudinal neonatal immune and vaccination data following late-gestation ofatumumab exposure.
