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

N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated autoimmune encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is the most common cause of autoimmune encephalitis, especially in children and young adults. The disorder is caused by antibodies directed against the GluN1 protein, an obligatory constituent of NMDA receptors, which are key signaling molecules in brain development, learning and memory, and executive function. The manuscript by Zhou et al. offers key insights into aberrant development of cortical pathways that may underly persistent sensorimotor deficits associated with this encephalitis in a newly generated mouse model. This study convincingly links transient exposure to a patient-derived anti-GluN1 mAb during a critical developmental period to lasting disruptions in interhemispheric connectivity through callosal projections. These findings provide insight into the impact of a prevalent autoimmune disorder on fundamental aspects of brain development and establish a model system that could be further employed to probe other aspects of NMDAR-AE pathogenesis.
