Searching for autoimmune encephalitis: Beware of normal CSF.
Article in Journal of neuroimmunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
objectiveTo determine the prevalence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers associated with inflammation (i.e., elevated white blood cell count, protein concentration, and CSF-specific oligoclonal bands) in patients with early active autoimmune encephalitis (AE).
methodsCSF characteristics, including WBC count, protein concentration, and oligoclonal banding, were analyzed in patients diagnosed with AE at two tertiary care centers.
resultsNinety-five patients were included in the study. CSF white blood cell counts and protein levels were within normal limits for 27% (CI
conclusionsWhite blood cell counts and protein levels were within normal limits in the CSF of a substantial proportion of patients with early active AE. Inclusion of CSF oligoclonal banding identified a higher proportion of patients with an inflammatory CSF profile, especially when CSF was sampled early in the disease process.
