Psychiatric features in NMDAR and LGI1 antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) often developed psychiatric features during the disease course. Many studies focused on the psychiatric characteristic in anti-NMDAR encephalitis (NMDAR-E), but anti-LGI1 encephalitis (LGI1-E) had received less attention regarding the analysis of psychiatric features, and no study compared psychiatric characteristic between these two groups. The clinical data of AE patients (62 NMDAR-E and 20 LGI1-E) who developed psychiatric symptoms were analyzed in this study. In NMDAR-E, the most common higher-level feature was "behavior changes" (60/62, 96.8%) and the lower-level feature "incoherent speech" was observed in 33 patients (33/62, 53.2%), followed by "agitation" (29/62, 46.8%) and "incongruent laughter/crying" (20/62, 32.3%). Similar to NMDAR-E, "behavior changes" was most common in LGI1-E (17/20, 85.0%), but the features of suicidality, eating, and obsessive-compulsive were not reported. The top three lower-level features were visual hallucinations (9/20, 45.0%), incoherent speech (8/20, 40.0%), and mood instability (7/20, 35.0%). The comparative study found that "incongruent laughter/crying", in lower-level features, was more frequently observed in NMDAR-E (32.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.002). Moreover, the Bush Francis Catatonia Rating Scale (BFCRS) assessing the catatonic symptoms in NMDAR-E were higher than LGI1-E, but the 18 item-Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS-18) showed no difference in the two groups. In summary, both NMDAR-E and LGI1-E often developed psychiatric symptoms. In contrast with LGI1-E, the psychiatric feature "incongruent laughter/crying" was more frequently associated with NMDAR-E, and catatonic symptoms were more severe in NMDAR-E.
