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

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies have been identified in central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disorders (MOG antibody disease), inclusive of optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The association of MOG antibodies with combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is not clear. It has been reported in a few cases where MOG antibodies were detected in the serum of patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. However, multifocal motor neuropathy with MOG antibodies is extremely rare. We present a patient who had clinical, neurophysiological, radiological, and biochemical findings that support the diagnosis of CCPD (multifocal motor neuropathy and cord lesion) with MOG antibodies. The patient was treated with a combination therapy of intravenous immunoglobulins plus high-dose methylprednisolone, which resulted in significant improvement.
