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

Background: Acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR-Ab) are established biomarkers in myasthenia gravis (MG). In ocular MG (OMG), their presence has been linked to disease severity, treatment response, and progression to generalized MG (GMG); however, the relevance of AChR-Ab titers or seropositivity to ocular manifestations remains uncertain. Objective and Method: We retrospectively reviewed OMG patients treated at Rajavithi Hospital (2009-2024). AChR-Ab titers were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Clinical and demographic factors associated with AChR-Ab seropositivity (AChR-Ab Results: Among the 111 patients with OMG, 51 patients (45.9%) were AChR-Ab Conclusion: Serostatus of acetylcholine receptor antibodies may be useful for identifying MG patients at higher risk of generalization or thymoma, while antibody titers may provide complementary information, particularly in relation to thymoma, rather than serving as direct markers of disease severity or ocular manifestations.
