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: Anti-IgLON5 disease is an autoimmune encephalopathy with sleep disturbances as a hallmark in the majority of reported cases. Additional clinical symptoms are heterogenous and include movement disorders, bulbar dysfunction, autonomic disorders, and neurocognitive impairment. Case: Here, we report the case of an 87-year-old woman presenting with isolated progressive hemichorea. An extensive diagnostic work-up revealed antibodies against IgLON5 in the serum. Neither history nor polysomnography (PSG) unveiled signs and features of sleep dysfunction typically reported in anti-IgLON5 disease. Literature Review: In an extensive literature review we identified twelve other studies reporting about patients with confirmed anti-IgLON5 disease and chorea as extrapyramidal movement disorder in their clinical phenotype. Subsequently, clinical characteristics of these patients were carefully evaluated. Conclusions: Our results support the diversity of clinical phenotypes in anti-IgLON5 disease, adding isolated hemichorea to the spectrum of presenting symptoms. As sleep-related disorders are often not the leading reason for consultation and only revealed by PSG examination, we suggest that screening for antibodies against IgLON5 should be considered in patients presenting with unexplained movement disorders, including isolated hemichorea.
