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

Immune-mediated myelopathies are a heterogeneous group of inflammatory spinal cord disorders including autoimmune disorders with known antibodies, e.g. aquaporin-4 IgG channelopathy or anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated myelitis, myelopathies in the context of multiple sclerosis and systemic autoimmune disorders with myelopathy, as well as post-infectious and paraneoplastic myelopathies. Although magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord is still challenging due to the small dimension of the cord cross-section and frequent movement and susceptibility artifacts, recent methodological advances have led to improved diagnostic evaluation and characterization of immune-mediated myelopathies. Topography, length and width of the lesion, gadolinium enhancement pattern, and changes in morphology over time help in narrowing the broad differential diagnosis. In this review, we give an overview of recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging of immune-mediated myelopathies and its role in the differential diagnosis and monitoring of this heterogeneous group of disorders.
