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

Recent advances in the understanding of immune-mediated neurological disorders have led to a paradigm shift toward pathophysiology-directed therapies. Central to this progress is a deeper appreciation of the complement system, a key component of innate immunity, and its role in neuroinflammation. Complement activation, while essential for host defense and tissue homeostasis, has been implicated increasingly in a spectrum of central and peripheral neurological disorders where complement dysregulation contributes to inflammation, cellular damage, and disease progression. Breakthroughs in conditions such as myasthenia gravis and aquaporin-4 IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder underscore the therapeutic potential of targeting complement pathways to improve patient outcomes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of complement activation pathways, regulatory controls, and their involvement in various autoimmune neurological diseases. We also highlight current and emerging complement-targeted therapies, many of which are now completing or entering clinical trials. Together, these insights offer a holistic perspective on the complement system as both a contributor to and a target for intervention in neurological diseases.
