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

Myasthenia gravis (MG), a prototype autoimmune neurological disease, had its therapy centred on corticosteroids, non-steroidal broad-spectrum immunotherapy and cholinesterase inhibitors for several decades. Treatment-refractory MG and long-term toxicities of the medications have been major concerns with the conventional therapies. Advances in the immunology and pathogenesis of MG have ushered in an era of newer therapies which are more specific and efficacious. Complement inhibitors and neonatal Fc receptor blockers target disease-specific pathogenic mechanisms linked to myasthenia and have proven their efficacy in pivotal clinical studies. B cell-depleting agents, specifically rituximab, have also emerged as useful for the treatment of severe MG. Many more biologicals are in the pipeline and in diverse stages of development. This review discusses the evidence for the novel therapies and the specific issues related to their clinical use.
