Myasthenia Gravis with Anti-Muscle-Specific Tyrosine Kinase Antibody during Pregnancy and Risk of Neonatal Myasthenia Gravis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Case reports in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
A 31-year-old woman presented with a nasal voice, dysarthria, and upper limb weakness during her first pregnancy. Soon after delivery of her first baby, her symptoms disappeared. At the age of 34 years, during her second pregnancy, her nasal voice re-appeared. After delivery of the second baby, her nasal voice worsened, and bilateral eyelid ptosis and easy fatigability were also evident. She was referred to our hospital. Because of her myasthenic symptoms and anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody (Ab)-positive status, she was diagnosed as having myasthenia gravis (MG). Her symptoms were worse than those in her first pregnancy. She was treated with oral steroid and double filtration plasmapheresis. After initiation of treatment, her myasthenic symptoms improved completely. In addition, her baby developed transient neonatal MG (TNMG) on the fourth day after birth and then gradually recovered over 30 days. It should be noted that symptoms of patients with anti-MuSK Ab-positive MG (MuSK-MG) can deteriorate during pregnancy, and the babies delivered of patients with MuSK-MG have a high probability of developing TNMG.
