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

Pediatric chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system with a number of diagnostic pitfalls. A subset of treatment-resistant CIDP adult patients have been found with antibodies against paranodal proteins. We report the first pediatric case in a 14 year-old adolescent with a severe CIDP phenotype in whom positive anti-neurofascin 155 antibodies were found in his serum. Resistant to conventional therapies, he showed dramatic improvement when treated with Rituximab with mild to moderate functional motor disability at 24 month follow-up. In pediatric CIDP patients that remain refractory to conventional treatments, the presence of antibodies to paranodal proteins warrants investigation as it can have potential therapeutic guidance.
