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

objectivesDevelop a nomogram to analyse the factors influencing the relapse of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) during rituximab (RTX) treatment.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 214 NMOSD patients identified 181 with AQP4-IgG-seropositive. 32 patients who relapsed during RTX treatment were included, and 122 sets of lymphocyte subset monitoring data were collected. 110 sets of data were finally included and divided into relapse (n = 30) and nonrelapse (n = 80) groups depending on whether a relapse occurred between two adjacent RTX treatments. Logistic and LASSO regressions were used to identify the relevant factors influencing NMOSD relapse, and a nomogram was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the nomogram's ability to differentiate, and the bootstrap method was utilized for internal validation. Calibration curve and decision curve analysis were also conducted.

resultsComparing baseline data revealed differences in the RTX administration interval, CD3

conclusionThe nomogram developed in this study showed that the RTX administration interval and CD3
