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

The 26S proteasome inhibitor bortezomib is currently used to treat multiple myeloma but also is effective in the treatment of antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders. One clinical concern is bortezomib's toxicity towards the (central) nervous system. We used standardized neuropsychological testing to assess cognitive function in six patients with myasthenia gravis and systemic lupus erythematodes before and after treatment with a mean cumulative dose of 9.4 mg m
