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

backgroundNeuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by eosinophilic hyaline intranuclear inclusions in multiple organs. On conventional MRI, high signals on diffused weight image (DWI) along the corticomedullary junction have demonstrated great diagnostic values for adult-onset NIID. However, changes of contrast MRI in the acute period of the encephalopathy-like episode have rarely been investigated.

methodsPatients with enhanced lesions were retrieved in our database including 35 patients with adult-onset NIID between October 2017 and December 2019. Conventional and contrast MRI were conducted in all patients. Standard procedures of skin biopsy were performed in all patients. Repeat-primed PCR and amplicon length PCR were used to screen the GGC expansion in the 5'UTR of the NOTCH2NLC gene.

resultsFour of 35 patients (11.4%) were identified to have a cortical enhancement in this study. The enhanced lesions were selectively spread along the surface of posterior cortex and were clinically associated with encephalopathy-like episodes. These patients had a younger age of onset, shorter duration of disease, and a higher incidence of a headache than those without enhancement. Typical p62-postive intranuclear inclusions were observed in all patients, while patient 1 simultaneously had many nuclei full of abnormal substance immunopositive to p62, as well as short-curly filament materials on electron microscopy. All patients were identified to have GGC repeat expansion in the NOTCH2NLC gene.

conclusionPost-contrast MRI should be routinely performed in the adult-onset NIID patients. Some patients with adult-onset NIID showed cortical enhancement and edema along the surface of posterior cortex, indicating that dehydrate and anti-inflammatory drugs might be potential therapies for these patients.
