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

Autoimmune neuromuscular disorders in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) are relatively uncommon. Although two cases of myasthenia gravis (MG) comorbid with EGPA have been reported, both patients developed EGPA several years after starting immunosuppressive treatment for MG. We herein report a 75-year-old man with a rare co-occurrence of EGPA and MG that developed simultaneously and was successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy. Distinguishing the neurological symptoms of EGPA from complications of other neurological autoimmune diseases, such as MG, is crucial, especially in patients with eosinophilia.
