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

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nerves characterized by proximal and distal muscle weakness and sensory abnormalities. CIDP has been associated with various pathophysiological mechanisms that are not fully understood and that likely differ across groups of patients. It has been proposed that an interplay of different immunopathological mechanisms including the cellular, humoral and complement pathways play a key role in peripheral nerve damage in CIDP. Currently approved treatments and therapies in research often target different potential pathophysiological mechanisms. The efficacy of these different treatments can shed light on the prominence of particular pathophysiological pathways in subsets of patients with CIDP. For example, the complement pathway plays a key role in promoting macrophage-mediated demyelination, and complement inhibitors are under development as new targets in CIDP treatment, with mixed results. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) has also been targeted as a promising treatment avenue due to its role in immunoglobulin G degradation. Efgartigimod is the first FcRn blocker approved for the treatment of CIDP. This review provides an overview of key proposed mechanisms of action in CIDP pathophysiology in the context of both basic scientific findings and treatment targets in recent clinical studies.
