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

Research on autoimmune and infectious encephalitis has made substantial progress in recent years in revealing the pathophysiology of these diseases, establishing robust diagnostic criteria, and developing promising treatment options, with a range of clinical trials currently underway. Outcome measures in studies on autoimmune and infectious encephalitis mainly relied on established and widely used tools such as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). However, the mRS was developed to assess stroke outcome and has a strong focus on motor symptoms and the degree of dependence in daily activities. For example, approximately 80% of patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis (i.e., the most common autoimmune encephalitis variant) achieve a good outcome 2 years after disease onset when evaluated using the mRS.
