Comparative analysis of clinical and imaging data between patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease and patients with aquaporin 4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

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
backgroundWe aimed to compare the clinical data, laboratory findings, and imaging characteristics of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) and aquaporin 4 antibody (AQP4)-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), as detailed comparative analyses of laboratory data for both diseases are rare.
methodsOur retrospective study compared the clinical data, laboratory findings, and imaging characteristics of 118 AQP4-positive patients with first-episode NMOSD and 25 patients with first-episode MOGAD. Logistic regression was used to determine the factors that differentiated MOGAD and AQP4-positive NMOSD.
resultsThere were significant differences in age, symptoms, recurrence rate, laboratory indicators, and imaging examinations between patients with MOGAD and patients with AQP4-positive NMOSD. Patients with MOGAD were younger and had higher levels of uric acid than those with AQP4-positive NMOSD. The proportion of cortical gray matter/juxtacortical white matter lesions was significantly higher in the MOGAD group than in the NMOSD group. Logistic regression revealed that young age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.947, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.905-0.99], high uric acid level (OR = 1.016, 95% CI = 1.006-1.027), and cortical gray matter/juxtacortical white matter involvement (OR = 3.889, 95% CI = 1.048-14.442) were significantly related to MOGAD.
conclusionThe multivariate analysis of the present study demonstrated that age, uric acid level, and the presence of lesions in the cortical gray matter/juxtacortical white matter can aid in distinguishing patients with AQP4-positive NMOSD from those with MOGAD. These factors may also aid in determining which patients should be tested for antibodies.
