Anti-metabolic glutamate receptor 5 encephalitis with gangliocytoma: a case and review of the literature.
Review in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThere are very limited reports on anti-metabolic glutamate receptor5 (mGluR5) encephalitis, especially lacking of pediatric research. The disease was mostly accompanied by tumors, mainly Hodgkin's lymphoma. No reports of other tumors, such as gangliocytoma have been reported to associate with anti-mGluR5 encephalitis so far. CASE PRESENTATION AND LITERATURE REVIEWS: We reported a case of a 12-year-old boy with anti-mGluR5 encephalitis complicated with gangliocytoma. The patient suffered from mental disorders including auditory hallucination, and sleep disorders. His cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an abnormality in the right insular lobe. Autoimmune encephalitis antibodies testing was positive for mGluR5 IgG antibody both in cerebrospinal fluid and serum (1:3.2, 1:100 respectively). Abdominal CT indicated a mass in left retroperitoneal confirmed with gangliocytoma via pathology. The patient underwent resection of gangliocytoma. After first-line immunotherapy (glucocorticoid, gamma globulin), his condition was improved. Furthermore, we provide a summary of 6 pediatric cases of Anti-mGluR5 encephalitis. Most of them complicated with Hodgkin's lymphoma, except the case currently reported comorbid with gangliocytoma. The curative effect is satisfactory.
conclusionsWe report the first patient with anti-mGlur5 encephalitis complicated with gangliocytoma. It suggests that in addition to paying attention to the common lymphoma associated with anti-mGlur5 encephalitis, we should also screen the possibility of other tumors for early detection of the cause, active treatment and prevention of recurrence.
