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

(1) Background: Homer-3 antibodies are associated with cerebellar disease ranging from subacute degeneration to cerebellitis. However, cognitive impairment associated with Homer-3 autoantibodies has not been reported until now. (2) Methods: in retrospect, we systematically studied clinical, cranial magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), electroencephalography (EEG) and lumbar puncture data, including neural autoantibodies of a clinical case. (3) Results: we describe the case of a 56-year-old woman presenting with amnestic mild cognitive impairment in association with serum and CSF detection of Homer-3 autoantibodies and a depressive syndrome. cMRI revealed cerebellar atrophy. CSF analysis showed elevated ptau181 protein. Applying the criteria for an autoimmune psychiatric syndrome revealed a plausible autoimmune basis for the mild cognitive impairment. (4) Discussions: our case report demonstrates an amnestic mild cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms associated with Homer-3 autoantibodies as a novel feature of Homer-3 antibody-related disease. We also propose that cognitive dysfunction might result from impaired AMPAR signaling in the hippocampus induced by Homer-3 antibodies, which will have to be verified in further research.
