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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCognitive impairment is a common and challenging symptom in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease; however, data in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated disease (MOGAD) remain scarce. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the frequency of cognitive impairment, associated clinical factors, and MRI volumetric measures in MOGAD.

methodsParticipants were investigated in a single center by certified psychologists and underwent a standardized 3-T-MRI protocol. MRI data were processed with FreeSurfer for gray and white matter volume estimation, presented as a fraction of total intracranial volume. Sera screening for antineural antibodies has been conducted using cell-based assays. The following clinical factors were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis: sex, age, overall number of previous relapses, and specifically the history of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)/ADEM-like episodes and other brain relapses.

resultsThirty-two patients with MOGAD (19 female, median age 29.4 years) after a median of 2 relapses with a median EDSS of 1.0 were recruited. Seven patients (21.9%) demonstrated cognitive impairment with the most prevalent deficits in mental flexibility (16.7%), attention (11.1%-14.8%), and verbal working memory (10.3%). 72.4% suffered from fatigue and 42.9% from signs of depression, moderate to severe in 28.6%. The overall number of previous relapses (odds ratio [OR] 1.789, 95% CI 1.041-3.074) and specifically ADEM/ADEM-like episodes (OR 16.929, 95% CI 1.228-233.427) were the only clinical factors associated with cognitive impairment in a multivariate logistic regression model. Screening for antineuronal antibodies remained negative. Cerebral white matter (WM) (0.300 vs 0.317, DISCUSSION: Despite a low overall disability, every 5th patient with MOGAD experiences cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment is associated with a higher number of relapses and particularly ADEM/ADEM-like attacks. Although both WM and DGM atrophies are apparent in MOGAD, the latter only seems to have an association with cognitive impairment.
