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

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by complex neuropsychiatric features and the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the receptor subunit 1 (NR1) of the NMDA receptors in the central nervous system. In this case report, we present a 31-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with altered mental status, hallucinations, and seizure activity. After the failure of first-line treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin/plasma exchange (IVIG/PLEX) started at the previous facility, the patient was started on a trial of rituximab, which showed clinical improvement. This case report aims to shed light on the progression of a rare disorder, early tumor detection, individualized immunotherapy, and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment plans.
