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

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoantibody-mediated disease of the neuromuscular junction characterized by muscular weakness. Autoantibodies to presynaptic P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) induce defective neuromuscular function. In severe cases, current immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory treatment strategies are often insufficient. First reports show beneficial effects of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in patients with autoantibody-mediated myasthenia gravis. We report a patient with isolated idiopathic LEMS treated with autologous anti-CD19-CAR-T cells. In this patient, CAR-T infusion leads to expansion of predominantly CD4
