MOGAD in South Wales: Diagnostic Evolution and Disease Epidemiology.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundMyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare antibody-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disorder. In 2023, new international consensus diagnostic criteria were agreed. This study uses these criteria to describe epidemiological features of MOGAD in a population-based cohort of patients from south Wales, UK.
methodsRetrospective review of case notes on all positive MOG-IgG results in South Wales between 01 January 2011 and 30 June 2024 was undertaken, 2023 diagnostic criteria applied and standardised clinical features recorded. Paediatric MOGAD was defined as age at onset < 16 years and adult MOGAD ≥ 16 years. The incidence period was between 01 January 2015 and 31 December 2023.
resultsSeventy-six prevalent cases were identified: 53 adults and 23 children. Minimum estimated prevalence of MOGAD in south Wales on 30 June 2024 was 76/1,974,110 population (3.85/100,000 population; 95% CI 3.03-4.82). Paediatric prevalence was 6.59/100,000 population (95% CI 4.18-9.89) and adult prevalence 3.26/100,000 population (95% CI 2.44-4.27). Sex ratio was almost equal in males and females. The most frequent presentations were optic neuritis in adults (62.3%) and ADEM in children (34.8%); 64.5% had a monophasic disease course over a median follow-up of 38 months (IQR 13-63). Mean annual incidence was 3.39 (95% CI 2.58-4.39) per million population.
conclusionsThis regional study provides updated prevalence and incidence rates for MOGAD since the introduction of 2023 diagnostic criteria in a stable south Wales, UK population.
