Long-term effects of anti-
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Patients with anti- Methods: Data collected via structured self-reported questionnaires included clinical features, long-term outcomes, and QOL. These questionnaires were administered to adult members of the Japanese Anti-NMDARE Patients' Association. We used the NeuroQOL battery to assess QOL in physical, mental, and social domains. Raw NeuroQOL scores were converted to T-scores for comparison with controls. Results: Twenty-two patients completed the questionnaire. The median interval between disease onset and questionnaire response was 78 months. Forty-six percent of patients reported persistent sequelae, with only 73% able to resume prior work/school activities. Although patients' Global QOL was similar to controls, patients with NMDARE had significantly worse social QOL. Patients with worse social QOL had more frequent sequelae than those with better social QOL. Furthermore, patients with persistent sequelae had significantly worse Global QOL than those without sequelae and controls. Conclusion: Patients with NMDARE had worse social QOL than controls. Given the adverse effects of disease sequelae on QOL, treatment strategies that minimize sequelae during the acute-phase may improve patients' QOL, even years post-disease onset.
