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

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare disorders affecting any part of the central, peripheral or autonomic nervous system that occur in association with cancer. Among cancer patients, less than 1% overall develop PNS. Anti-SOX1 antibodies' positive paraneoplastic neurological disorders are rare and are usually associated with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Here, we report a case of a 61-year-old male patient who presented with an unusual anti-SOX1 positive PNS. The right tibialis anterior showed noticeable low-amplitude motor unit potentials and high amplitude motor potentials in electrodiagnostic study, suggesting the presence of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). Typical MRI and PET-CT found a hyperintense lesion with contrast enhancement in the thorax in front of 5-6 centrum of vertebrae, and thoracoscopic biopsy revealed pathological findings for SCLC. The patient underwent several lines of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and survived for 15 months after the diagnosis of SCLC.
