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: To explore the clinical features, treatment, and prognosis of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the records of 114 patients diagnosed with probable (n = 65) or definite (n = 49) PNS between July 2016 and October 2024 were analyzed. Short-term outcome was defined as the point decrease in modified Rankin Scale score from peak disease to discharge(Δmodified Rankin Scale). Long-term prognosis was determined by mortality at last follow-up. Prognostic factors were identified using logistic regression and Cox models. The impact of tumors and high-risk antibodies on survival were assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: Of the 114 patients, 65 (57.0%) were males. The median age was 63 years. Muscle weakness (53.5%) was most common, followed by seizures and altered consciousness. Associated tumors occurred in 66.7% of patients, mainly lung (65.8%) and breast cancer (9.2%). Antibodies were detected in 79.8%, including (single and multiple antibody types) anti-GABA Conclusions: Age < 65 years, CNS involvement and immunotherapy are relevant to favorable short-term outcome. SCLC and high-risk antibodies are adverse factors of long-term survival in PNS.
