Article in Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesAutoimmune encephalitis arising from autoantibodies against leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) and contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) are rare and with high clinical heterogeneity. They are easily misdiagnosed and missing diagnosed. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics, auxiliary examinations, therapies and prognosis of anti-LGI1 and anti-CASPR2 encephalitis.
methodsSeventeen anti-LGI1 and 11 anti-CASPR2 encephalitis patients who were admitted to the Department of Neurology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between January 2018 and January 2021 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Autoimmune encephalitis related antibodies and paraneoplastic antibodies were screened in all patients. The clinical manifestations, results of laboratory tests, imaging features, treatments and outcomes of 2 encephalitis groups were analyzed and compared.
resultsIn the anti-LGI1 encephalitis group, the age of 17 patients was 28-83 (53.18±19.08) years old, and the ratio of male to female was 9꞉8. There were 10 patients with cognitive impairment, 7 seizures, 4 faciobrachial dystonic seizures, and 1 psychiatric disturbance. Hyponatremia was observed in 7 patients. Eight patients had increased slow waves and 5 had epileptic discharge in electroencephalogram (EEG). Brain magnetic resonance (MRI) showed T
conclusionsLimbic encephalitis is a common syndrome in both anti-LGI1 and anti-CASPR2 encephalitis patients. Anti-CASPR2 encephalitis has a wider clinical spectrum than anti-LGI1 encephalitis, presenting as NMT and Morvan syndrome, which has a closer relationship with tumors. Both of these 2 antibodies associated disorders are sensitive to immunotherapy and have a good prognosis.
