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

ObjectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of zilucoplan in the real-world treatment setting in France.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study evaluated patients with generalized anti-AChR myasthenia gravis (MG) failing current therapy enrolled in the French early access program (EAP) for zilucoplan. Patients were evaluated at enrollment and at Months 1, 3 and 6 with the MG-ADL score, the Myasthenic Muscle Score (MMS-Garches), and the MG-quality of life questionnaire (MG-QoL15r). MG crises and on-treatment adverse events were documented. MG medication use was compared between the six months before and after enrollment.ResultsForty-eight patients were enrolled and treated with zilucoplan (mean age: 56.2 years; 50.9% men). Thirty patients achieved six months follow-up before the EAP ended. Three patients discontinued zilucoplan due to lack of efficacy. Mean MG-ADL score decreased from 7.4 ± 4.4 to M0 to 2.5 ± 2.7 at M6 (
