Clinical Features of Children With MOG-IgG Who Fulfill Criteria of Multiple Sclerosis and Overlapping Disorders.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to report the clinical features, disease-modifying treatment (DMT) response, and outcomes of children with MOG-IgG who fulfill the 2017 McDonald criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS).
methodsThis prospective observational study included children (<18 years) with a suspected acquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS) whose serum or CSF was positive for MOG-IgG, who met the indicated MS criteria, and who had ≥1 year of clinical follow-up. MOG-IgG was tested using live cell-based assays.
resultsOf 554 children with confirmed ADS (196 with MOG-IgG), 8 (median age 11 years, interquartile range 9-14) harbored MOG-IgG and fulfilled MS criteria: 2 had typical MS and 6 had overlapping MOGAD-MS features at onset, but 5 of the latter group developed an MS-like course during follow-up. Five of 7 patients with assessable samples were Epstein-Barr virus seropositive at disease onset, and all 8 had persistent silent radiologic activity with lesional location and morphology suggestive of MS, leading to initiation of DMT. All initial treatments were well tolerated, but eventually, 7 of 8 children (88%) required high-efficacy DMT. DISCUSSION: In this pediatric cohort, 4% of patients with MOG-IgG met criteria for MS. The clinical-radiologic spectrum ranged from typical MS to overlapping MOGAD-MS, and patients usually required high-efficacy DMT.
