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

Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare neurological condition. Tubal ectopic pregnancy is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Regular pregnancy has a disease-modifying effect on MOGAD, with an increased relapse rate postpartum. Still, there are neither case reports nor cohort studies on abortions and ectopic pregnancy as a disease-modifying event for MOGAD. Materials and methods: This is a case report on a severe MOGAD relapse after ectopic pregnancy and laparoscopic abortion. Discussion: For the first time we described that elevated interleukin-1 (IL-1), which was found in cerebrospinal fluid in the current case may be pathogenetically related to ectopic pregnancy. Rituximab (anti-CD20 treatment), downregulated IL-1 and TNF-alfa inflammatory pathways thus is an appropriate drug of choice to treat relapse. Cytokines secreted during ectopic pregnancy could play a disease-modifying role in multiple sclerosis and Guillian-Barré syndrome. Conclusion: The first case report of a MOGAD severe relapse after ectopic pregnancy and laparoscopic abortion which resolved with rituximab treatment.
