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.
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
Rituximab (RTX) is a humanized chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that leads to immunosuppression through rapid depletion of B lymphocytes. It has been demonstrated to be useful in treating both thyroid eye disease (TED) and myasthenia gravis (MG), respectively. However, the effectiveness of RTX in concurrent TED and MG cases is unclear and not previously reported in the literature. In this study, we describe a 13-year-old girl who presented with a 10-year history of general MG and a 1-year history of Graves' disease, bilateral proptosis, eye motility restriction, and lagophthalmos. A comprehensive evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of concurrent TED and MG. Satisfactory effectiveness was observed after RTX treatment without side effects. Based on the described observations, we suggest that RTX should be further explored as a treatment option for patients with concurrent TED and MG.
