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

Introduction: The association of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody associated disease (MOGAD) and tumors has seldom been reported. We aim to investigate the occurrence of tumors in a cohort of patients with MOGAD and to describe their clinical features, in addition to previously reported cases. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with MOGAD (i.e., compatible clinical phenotype and positive MOG antibodies analysed with a live cell-based assay) from 1/1/2015 to 1/1/2023 who had a neoplasm diagnosed within 2  years from MOGAD onset. Furthermore, we performed systematic review of literature to identify previously reported cases. Clinical, paraclinical and oncological findings were collected and reported as median (range) or number (percentage). Results: Two of 150 MOGAD patients (1%) had a concomitant neoplasm in our cohort. Fifteen additional cases were retrieved from literature. Median age was 39 (16-73) years-old, 12 patients were female. ADEM ( Discussion: Our study confirms that MOG is a low-risk antibody for paraneoplastic neurological syndromes and that the clinical presentation and oncological accompaniments are extremely variable. Most of these patients were classified as non-PNS, whereas only a minority was diagnosed with possible/probable PNS, frequently in association with ovarian teratoma. These findings support the notion that MOGAD is not a paraneoplastic disease.
