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

backgroundGrowing evidence suggests an association between dyslipidemia and autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to perform a preliminary analysis to investigate the role of lipid profiles in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis and to preliminarily explore the potential inflammatory effects of lipids on this disease by analyzing the association of lipid profiles with different inflammatory markers.

methodsThis retrospective study consisted of 40 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients and 74 healthy controls. Serum lipid profiles and different inflammatory markers were analyzed upon admission and at each follow-up. Lipid profiles were compared among subgroups of patients, which were divided according to clinical characteristics. Correlations between lipid profiles and different inflammatory markers were assessed.

resultsThe results showed that lipid profiles were abnormal and were correlated with both disease severity and prognosis in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Correlations between lipid profiles and different inflammatory markers were observed. After 12 months of treatment, inflammatory markers changed with lipid profiles, and these changes were significantly correlated.

conclusionsLipid profiles are associated with pathogenesis and progression of anti-NMDAR encephalitis, and they are significantly correlated with different inflammatory markers, suggesting that the association of lipids with the disease might be influenced by the inflammatory response.
