SCLC and anti-GABABR encephalitis: A retrospective analysis of 60 cases in China.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundAnti-gamma aminobutyric acid B receptor (anti-GABABR) encephalitis is a rare autoimmune neurological syndrome observed in lung cancer patients. More research on the clinical characteristics of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and anti-GABABR encephalitis should be carried out to improve diagnosis and treatment.
methodsWe retrospectively investigated the clinical characteristics, auxiliary examination results, and treatment responses in patients with SCLC and anti-GABABR encephalitis at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2010 to December 2020. The study also retrospectively analyzed cases of SCLC and anti-GABABR encephalitis well documented in China.
resultsA total of 60 cases of SCLC and anti-GABABR encephalitis were analyzed in the study, two in our hospital, and 58 previously reported in the literature. The male:female ratio was 3:1, with a median age at presentation of 61 years (range: 40-81 years). Twenty-eight patients initially presented with seizures, four with cognitive disorder, and three with psychiatric symptoms. The major symptoms were epileptic seizures (n = 56; 96.9%), cognitive impairment (n = 47; 81.0%), psychiatric disorders (n = 45; 77.6%), and conscious disturbance (n = 32; 55.2%). Fifty-five patients underwent immunotherapy, and 23 patients underwent oncologic treatment in the literature. After a median follow-up duration of 8.8 (range, 0.5-37.0) months, nine patients showed good outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score, mRS ≤2), eight patients showed poor prognosis (mRS > 2), and 18 patients died.
conclusionsThe clinical characteristics of SCLC and anti-GABABR encephalitis are seizures, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric disorders which affect middle-aged to elderly men in China. The long-term prognosis is relatively poor.
