Disaster Preparation for People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Scoping Review of Resources.
Review in International journal of MS care, 2025. 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
Background: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have unique needs during a disaster, increasing preparation requirements. The content and patient-level suitability of disaster preparation tools is unknown. This scoping review aimed to determine the range and content of disaster preparation resources that are freely available online and suitable to assist people with MS. Methods: Resources were identified via the Turning Research Into Practice medical database, Google, and disability-related websites. The included resources were disability specific and have been published since 2017. Resources were inductively analyzed and presented according to the target audience and themes. Findings were compared with stakeholder preferences. Results: Fifty-nine resources were identified, targeting carers (27.1%), health care professionals (10.2%), and people with disabilities (89.8%). Resource content themes were advanced planning, informing others, practical preparations, and review. Consumer involvement was reported in 2 resources. Stakeholder preferences for disaster preparedness content were not well reflected in the resources. Conclusions: The review identified online disaster preparedness resources suitable for people with MS and highlighted important gaps. More inclusive resources can be created with consumer involvement in design. Identified themes inform professionals about resources to recommend to patients based on their needs. Health care professionals can aid preparation by addressing resource gaps, particularly regarding health condition management.
