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

We report the clinical case of a nine-year-old girl who presented with progressive motor neuropathy, revealed via the detection of a higher delay in F-wave recording using digitalized nerve conduction/electromyography. Since the lupus anticoagulant (LAC) positivity, detected using diluted Russell viper venom time (dRVVT), switched to persistent serological anticardiolipin immunoglobulin G (IgG) positivity, a possible non-thrombotic antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-related clinical manifestation was suspected, and intravenous immunoglobulin treatment (IVIG) was started. The IVIG treatment was well tolerated and the complete resolution of motor impairment was obtained after the third IVIG infusion. Our findings suggest that it could be useful to check for antiphospholipid antibodies in children with a rapid onset of progressive neurological signs in order to provide the beneficial use of IVIG in the treatment of pediatric aPL neurological conditions.
