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

To compare the clinical, imaging, and prognostic characteristics of AQP4 antibody-related diseases and MOG antibody-related diseases. The clinical data of 56 AQP4 antibody-positive patients and 14 MOG antibody-positive patients in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2016 to June 2019 were collected. 92.9% of the patients with positive AQP4 antibody were females and 64.3% of patients with positive MOG antibody were females (P = 0.004). Patients with positive AQP4 antibody were more likely to have limb movement (P < 0.001) or limb sensory dysfunction (P < 0.001), and were more likely to have limb twitching (P = 0.036). In addition, AQP4 antibody-positive patients were more likely to have positive ANA (P = 0.013) and SSA antibody (P = 0.029), Ro-52 antibody (P = 0.047), immunoglobulin (P = 0.007), thyroid antibody (P = 0.007), abnormal C3 (P = 0.011), abnormal C4 (P = 0.014) than MOG antibody-positive patients. The involvement rate of head in MOG antibody-positive patients was higher than AQP4 antibody-positive patients (P = 0.029). The severity of clinical symptoms in AQP4-positive patients was usually more serious than that in MOG-positive patients (P < 0.001). The residual neurological deficit after treatment in AQP4-positive group was usually more serious than that in MOG-positive group (P < 0.001). AQP4 antibody-positive patients had a higher prevalence in women than MOG antibody-positive patients, and AQP4 antibody-positive patients were more likely to have spinal cord involvement symptoms and connective tissue antibody abnormalities. The EDSS score of them were higher than that of MOG antibody-positive patients after treatment, and the prognosis was worse.
