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

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the neuromuscular junction. The primary pathology in MG involves the presence of autoantibodies to acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), which results in qualitative and quantitative reductions in the availability of functional AChRs. Cardiac muscles are also affected, resulting in various perioperative cardiac complications. Antistriational antibodies are commonly reported in MG cases with cardiac involvement. In the presence of thymoma, the prevalence of cardiac manifestations in patients with MG increases to approximately 10%-15%. Cardiac involvement in MG may range from asymptomatic electrocardiogram changes to ventricular tachycardia, myocarditis, conduction disorders, heart failure, and sudden death. Increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, ventricular and supraventricular extra systoles, and prolonged QTc have also been reported in patients with MG. Clinicians should consider the evaluation of autonomic dysfunction and risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with MG.
