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

Acute symptomatic seizures are a well recognized symptom of myelin oligodendrocyte antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), but long-term seizure outcomes and risk of epilepsy are understudied. In a retrospective cohort of 135 consecutive patients meeting consensus criteria for MOGAD without a prior diagnosis of epilepsy or concurrent NMDA-R Ab positivity, 19 developed seizures after MOGAD onset (16 %). Of these 19 patients, 7 patients (37 % of those with seizures, and 5 % of the total cohort). experienced one or more seizure recurrence during MOGAD remission (i.e. outside of an acute attack). Five of the 7 patients with recurrent seizures remained on antiseizure medication (ASM) (four on monotherapy and one on two ASMs) at last follow-up (median duration of follow up: 92 months). We discuss phenotypes of recurrent seizures in patients with MOGAD in the context of the conceptual framework of acute symptomatic seizures versus autoimmune encephalitis associated epilepsy (AEAE).
