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

Background: Although the diagnosis is mainly dependent on the detection of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or serum, there was no direct correlations between anti-NMDAR antibody titers in CSF and disease severity and prognosis in anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients. Here, we aimed to extensively identify CSF biomarkers related to the occurrence, development, and prognosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis using a high-throughput proteomic approach. Methods: A CSF cytokine antibody array containing 80 cytokines and inflammatory mediators related to immune and inflammatory responses was applied to identify biomarker candidates in individual CSF samples from a well-characterized cohort comprising patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis ( Results: Three differentially expressed cytokines and inflammatory mediators were screened from the 80-cytokine array in cohort 1. Functional enrichment analysis results suggested that these differentially expressed proteins were related to autophagy, immune/inflammatory responses, cell death, and other processes. In cohort 2, the elevations of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1 (cIAP-1), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF), CXC chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13), and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in anti-NMDAR encephalitis were validated by ELISA. Linear regression revealed that the levels of CSF CXCL13 and cIAP-1 were positively correlated with the highest modified Rankin scale (mRS) score in the acute phase ( Conclusion: These biomarkers show promising functions to evaluate severity or prognosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. The biological processes of immune/inflammatory responses, altered levels of autophagy, and the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signal pathway may be involved in the pathophysiology of anti-NMDAR encephalitis to some extent.
