Central involvement in peripheral disease: melanopsin pathway impairment in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Article in Brain communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) compromises functions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Recently, however, symptoms such as cognitive deficits, visual dysfunction and circadian disorders were reported, compatible with additional involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) in CIDP. Against this background, we were interested in the functional state of melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) as a potential biomarker for sleep-wake abnormalities and CNS involvement in CIDP. Based on a chromatic pupillometry protocol, we examined the integrity of the melanopsin system in a prospective case-control study in 20 persons with CIDP compared to 20 controls without CIDP. The results were referred to clinical measures of disease severity and sleep behaviour. Patients with CIDP had a significantly reduced melanopsin-mediated post-illumination pupil response (PIPR) compared to healthy controls (25% versus 36%;
