Clinical Practice Evidence of Treatment Satisfaction with Moderate and High-Efficacy Drugs in Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Generally, the choice of disease-modifying treatment (DMT) for people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is based on aspects of efficacy and safety. However, due to the diversity of drugs and the different routes of administration, it is essential to know the experience and satisfaction of PwMS. Patient- reported outcomes (PROs) help us to optimize and improve adherence. Methods: Our objective with this cross-sectional, non-interventional study is to analyze satisfaction outcomes using the treatment satisfaction questionnaire for medication (TSQM) according to moderate or high efficacy of DMTs and the relationship with demographic, clinical and quality of life (QoL) aspects. Results: PwMS receiving high-efficacy DMTs show greater overall satisfaction, but not in the other TSQM subscales. The route of administration did not show differences in treatment satisfaction. The best QoL scores were observed in patients treated with oral DMTs compared to injectables or infusions. Discussion: The efficacy of DMT is a significant predictor of overall satisfaction. Quality of life has a minimal impact on overall satisfaction. EDSS, treatment duration and fatigue (MFIS) were not significant predictors of satisfaction outcomes. The knowledge provided by the PROs allows healthcare professionals to better understand the preferences and needs of PwMS, adjusting therapeutic strategies, improving patient experience and treatment effectiveness.
