Abnormal Brain MRI Findings in Anti-

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
Purpose: The reported prevalence of abnormal findings by brain MRI varies from 11 to 83% among patients with anti- Methods: This retrospective study analyzed a consecutive series of 52 patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis admitted to our hospital. The patients were assigned to the "MRI-normal" or the "MRI-abnormal" group based on brain MRI after admission. The groups were compared in terms of clinicodemographic characteristics and scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 3 and 12 months after admission. Results: Thirty-seven (71.15%) of the patients showed abnormalities on brain MRI; these patients were more likely to be men and showed abnormalities on electroencephalography. Patients who showed normal or abnormal MRI findings did not differ significantly in terms of clinical symptoms, rates of mortality or relapse, or mRS scores after 3 and 12 months. However, patients with abnormal MRI showed significantly lower MMSE scores than those with normal MRI after 3 and 12 months. Conclusions: We found high prevalence of abnormal MRI findings in our sample of Chinese patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. We also found that the abnormal findings were associated with cognitive decline but not necessarily with mortality or functional outcomes in the short or long term.
