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 AND

objectivesBeta-synuclein (beta-syn), synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25), and neurogranin are CSF biomarkers of synaptic damage, which have been poorly investigated in non-neurodegenerative neurologic diseases. In this study, we examined the diagnostic and prognostic role of these markers compared with the neuroaxonal damage marker neurofilament light chain protein (NfL) in infectious and autoimmune inflammatory neurologic diseases (IINDs and AINDs).

methodsThis cohort study included CSF samples from patients with different etiologies of IIND (varicella-zoster virus, herpes simplex virus, tick-borne meningoencephalitis, bacterial meningitis/(meningo)encephalitis, neuroborreliosis, or other/unknown etiology) or AIND (autoimmune encephalitis or other etiology) as well as controls.

resultsA total of 123 patients with IINDs (mean age 55.23 ± 18.04 years, 43.2% female), 22 with AINDs (age 60.41 ± 16.03 years, 81.8% female), and 95 controls (age 52.39 ± 17.94 years, 56.9% female) were enrolled. Compared with the control group, participants with IINDs and AINDs showed higher concentrations of beta-syn ( DISCUSSION: Elevated CSF levels of beta-syn, neurogranin, and NfL may suggest a common pattern of synaptic and neuroaxonal damage in both IINDs and AINDs. Although these biomarkers have limited value in distinguishing between different diseases, they are associated with clinical severity and with short-term outcome, particularly in patients with IINDs.
