Pain, Headache, and Other Non-motor Symptoms in Myasthenia Gravis.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewMyasthenia gravis (MG) is traditionally conceptualized as a disease with purely motor manifestations. This paper reviews the supporting evidence and pathophysiology of non-motor symptoms in MG, including pain, headache, special sense and autonomic dysfunction, sleep disturbance, and cognitive and psychosocial issues. RECENT
findingsWork in this area has been limited. Recent studies have identified bodily pain and headache as common complaints in patients with MG. A growing literature also suggests that there may be an association of MG and sleep disturbance (both obstructive sleep apnea and sleep cycle dysfunction). Few studies suggest some measurable abnormalities of olfaction, gustation, audition, and autonomic function. The cognitive and psychosocial aspects of MG represent an emerging area of clinical and research interest, but large-scale data is sparse in the USA. The pathophysiology of MG is complex, and our understanding of the immunologic basis of this disease is expanding. The classic view of MG as a purely motor disorder may be incomplete. Recent work highlights non-motor symptoms that may impact patient management and quality of life.
