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

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that can result in severe neurological sequelae. Aquaporin-4, a cause of complement-mediated inflammation in NMOSD, is expressed on alveolar epithelial cells and in the CNS, and organizing pneumonia (OP) is recognized as an extra-CNS symptom in NMOSD. We herein present a case of NMOSD following OP. The patient initially presented with area postrema syndrome, and the coexistence of OP made the diagnosis of NMOSD challenging. A review of previously reported cases of NMOSD with OP suggests that careful attention to area postrema syndrome as an onset symptom is needed for the early diagnosis and treatment of NMOSD in male and older patients with OP.
