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

Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) myasthenia gravis (MG) is relatively rare and has a higher incidence of myasthenic crisis compared with other subtypes. However, there is still a lack of effective treatment for refractory MuSK MG. We report the case of a 70-year-old female MuSK MG patient with recurrent fluctuations who stabilized on telitacicept in combination with anti-CD20 B-cell depletion therapy. This combination regimen deserves further investigation. Furthermore, we summarized the treatment protocols of 14 previously reported cases of MuSK MG.
