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: Anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated-1 (LGI1) encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by antibodies that target LGI1 (LGI1-IgG). It typically presents with cognitive impairment, psychiatric disturbances, and faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS). Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is currently recognized as a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) mediated by antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-IgG). The co-occurrence of anti-LGI1 encephalitis and MOG-IgG is a rare phenomenon. Methods: We report a case of anti-LGI1 antibody encephalitis combined with MOG-IgG. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed and Embase databases. We utilized the following search terms: ("Limbic Encephalitis"[MeSH Terms] OR ("autoimmune encephalitis"[Title/Abstract] OR "AE"[Title/Abstract])) AND ("Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein"[MeSH Terms] OR "demyelinating autoimmune diseases, cns"[MeSH Terms] OR ("MOG-IgG"[Title/Abstract] OR "MOGAD"[Title/Abstract])). The search was constrained to the period from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2024. Results: A total of nine papers involving 11 patients were included in the study. Three patients exhibited MOG-IgG in combination with LGI1-IgG. The majority of cases presented with encephalopathic symptoms. Visual changes were observed in a few cases with low titers of serum MOG-IgG or solely in the presence of MOG-IgG in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Conclusion: The occurrence of anti-LGI1 encephalitis alongside MOG-IgG is a relatively rare phenomenon. The clinical manifestation of encephalopathy in patients with coexisting antibodies presents a significant challenge for clinicians regarding timely diagnosis, highlighting the need for increased vigilance in daily practice.
