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

Objective: This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics and evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy and the long-term prognosis of severe autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in China. Methods: Clinical features, laboratory or radiological findings, and treatment outcomes of 60 severe patients with AE from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2020, were collected. Continuous variables were compared using the Results: The median age of symptom onset was 35 years. Tumors were identified in 23.3% of patients, and 36/60 (60%) patients responded to first-line immunotherapy. Second-line immunotherapy was implemented in 26/60 (43.3%) patients. A significant clinical benefit was observed in 19/26 (73.1%) patients treated with lower dosage rituximab; seven patients were still refractory and received bortezomib as an add-on therapy. During the last follow-up, 48/60 (80%) patients achieved good outcomes (mRS, 0-2), and 10 died. Seventeen patients experienced relapses. A high CD19 Conclusions: Patients with severe AE were in critical condition at baseline but could be salvaged after effective rescue immunotherapy. A lower dosage of rituximab could be an optimal option for severe AE. CD19
