Development and validation of the Myasthenia Gravis TeleScore (MGTS).

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
objectiveThe aim of our study was to validate the Myasthenia Gravis TeleScore (MGTS), a scale for the evaluation of MG patients in telemedicine.
introductionCOVID-19 pandemic has boosted telemedicine in clinical practice. It could be crucial in the care of neurological patients with chronic disease. However, there is a lack of validated disease-specific tools to evaluate MG patients in telemedicine.
methodsThe MGTS included ten items divided in four districts: ocular, generalized muscular strength, bulbar, and respiratory. Patients were assessed with two different scales: the MGTS and the INCB-MG chosen as a reference from which MGTS was partially derived. Visit in presence with INCB-MG and televisit with MGTS were performed consecutively. Televisit was conducted by another neurologist between two rooms. A blind method was adopted. The strength of correlation was determined by the correlation coefficient (r); analysis of covariance (ANOVA-Kruskal-Wallis test) was used to compare subgroups. Significance was set to p < 0.05.
resultsOne hundred thirty-one patients were included in the study, 71 females and 60 males. The Spearman correlation coefficient between the INCB-MG scale and the MGTS was 0.825 (p < 0.001), indicating a very strong correlation between them. Different items showed different correlations from low to high (0.32 to 0.80). As expected, correlation was lower between items with different evaluation modality (anamnestic vs clinical). DISCUSSION: The MGTS demonstrated a good correlation with INCB-MG, reliability and construct validity.
