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

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) results from immune-mediated damage to the central nervous system (CNS) with varying clinical manifestations depending on autoimmune antibodies present and the antigens they target. Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) has been recognized as one of the leading causes of limbic encephalitis (LE), presenting with seizures, memory loss, and faciobrachial dystonic seizures. A better understanding of the unique presentations of these AE allows for quick and effective diagnosis and treatment. We are presenting a very unusual case of LGI1 autoimmune LE with two additional autoantibodies, anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and anti-striational, in a patient with an underlying thymoma. We will discuss the pathophysiology and common clinical presentation of anti-LGI1 autoimmune LE.
