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

Purpose: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by neuromuscular junction (NMJ) dysfunction. Our current understanding of MG's inflammatory component remains poor. The systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) presents a promising yet unexplored biomarker for assessing MG severity. This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between SIRI and MG disease severity. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 171 MG patients admitted between January 2016 and June 2021. Patients with incomplete data, other autoimmune diseases, or comorbidities were excluded. Disease severity was evaluated using the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) classification and Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) on admission. The association between SIRI and disease severity was assessed through logistic regression analysis, along with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) comparisons with established inflammation indicators. Results: After exclusion, 143 patients were analyzed in our study. SIRI levels significantly differed between patients with higher and lower disease severity ( Conclusion: Our findings indicate a strong independent association between SIRI and disease severity in MG, suggesting SIRI's potential as a valuable biomarker for MG with superior clinical benefit to currently utilized markers.
