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

Purpose: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disease (MOGAD) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, presenting as optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. In 2023, international diagnostic criteria were established, integrating clinical, laboratory, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. This narrative review summarizes current knowledge on late-onset MOGAD (LO-MOGAD), emphasizing its distinct clinical features, diagnostic difficulties, and treatment aspects compared to earlier-onset cases. Case description: A 60-year-old man developed bilateral optic neuritis, tested positive for MOG immunoglobulin G antibodies, and exhibited a demyelinating lesion in the cervical spinal cord. Five years earlier, he experienced progressive binocular vision loss. Brain MRI revealed non-enhancing supratentorial white matter lesions, and spinal MRI showed a lesion from C3-C5. Anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies and oligoclonal bands were absent. Comment: LO-MOGAD often presents with subacute onset, bilateral optic neuritis, and short-segment myelitis. Age-related comorbidities and inconsistent study protocols complicate diagnosis and management, highlighting the need for age-specific research.
