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

B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases of central nervous system (CNS) put a heavy burden on different aspects of society and economy. Taken together, there are different types of autoimmune diseases in which B-cells play an important role and affect CNS in a pattern of inflammation. These diseases have some similarities in clinical presentations and radiological findings and some similarities with other diseases in different aspects such as treatments with each disease having its own characteristics. In this review article, we had a survey on some different types of B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases of CNS and explained how they can be distinguished from each other and how distinct they are according to radiological findings. The aim of this study is to distinguish B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases of CNS from other non-B-cell diseases in order to choose the best anti-B-cell treatments. At the end of this article we briefly explain different types of treatments being utilized and the role of corticosteroids in acute phases of different diseases.
