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

backgroundMyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of recently proposed MOGAD diagnostic criteria in a real-world patient cohort at a tertiary referral centre.

methodsWe identified all patients who were evaluated at Johns Hopkins and were MOG-IgG seropositive by cell-based assay. We retrospectively applied the proposed MOGAD diagnostic criteria.

resultsAmong the 122 patients included in this study, 109 fulfilled the diagnostic criteria. Of 64 patients with clear positive MOG-IgG titre, 63 patients also satisfied the supporting clinical or MRI features. Of 58 patients with low positive or unknown MOG-IgG titre, 46 met criteria by fulfilment of the supporting features. The medical records were independently reviewed by two investigators with expertise in demyelinating disease, and patients were assigned empirical clinical diagnoses, with agreement with the application of the MOGAD diagnostic criteria in the majority of cases (90%).

conclusionsOur findings support the diagnostic utility of the proposed MOGAD diagnostic criteria. Patients with MOGAD met the supporting clinical or MRI features almost universally, which suggests that the criteria can be used to accurately differentiate MOGAD from mimics with low-titre MOG-IgG seropositivity.
