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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that involves multiple organs and is generally treated by immunosuppressive agents. Acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The standard therapies are intravenous immunoglobulin or plasmapheresis. An association between AMSAN and SLE is rarely reported. Herein, we describe a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with rapidly progressive paraparesis, dysesthesia, and joint pain with morning stiffness. Initially, he was diagnosed with AMSAN. Intravenous immunoglobulin was given without significant improvement. Subsequent studies indicated the diagnosis of SLE. Therefore, the patient was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide, and then plasmapheresis. At 3 months, he improved from bedridden to wheelchair-bound. Our case demonstrates AMSAN as a rare initial manifestation that can lead to significant disability.
