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

Autoimmune encephalitis associated with antibodies against the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 is a rare autoimmune disease with only 18 cases being described in the literature so far. Most patients present with subacute cerebellar ataxia. In more than one third of cases a paraneoplastic aetiology has been suspected. Here we report a case of a 45-year-old man without known malignancy, who presented with progressive dysarthria and subsequently developed subacute cerebellar ataxia. Immunotherapy with glucocorticoids, i.v. immunoglobulins and rituximab improved clinical symptoms and resulted in a stable disease course up to the present. The article describes the clinical course of the patient with a follow-up-period of approximately 24 months and reviews the cases reported in the literature so far.
