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: Autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (ACA) is a significant and treatable cause of sporadic cerebellar syndrome. Pyramidal tract damage affects approximately 30% of ACA patients, profoundly impacts motor function and prognosis, yet this complex form remains under-investigated. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with pyramidal signs from our institutional ACA cohort, excluding those with intrinsic upper motor neuron impairment due to specific ACA subtypes. Clinical and paraclinical data were compared between patients with and without pyramidal signs. Results: Among the 48 ACA patients with pyramidal signs, primary autoimmune cerebellar ataxia was the most common subtype (50%), and neuronal antibodies were detected in 66.7%. Compared to ACA patients without pyramidal signs, those with pyramidal signs were younger at onset (44 Conclusions: Autoimmune cerebellopyramidal syndrome represents a distinct and complex ACA phenotype, characterized by unique clinical and imaging features, CSF abnormalities indicative of a more pronounced autoimmune response, and a higher relapse rate. Comprehensive evaluation and long-term maintenance immunotherapy may be warranted in these patients.
