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

Objective: To investigate mitochondrial functional alterations in T lymphocytes of patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDAR encephalitis, NMDAR-E) and their association with immune exhaustion. Methods: Twenty-five patients with NMDAR-E diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between January and March 2025 (14 mild cases and 11 severe cases) and 16 healthy controls were enrolled. Flow cytometry was performed to characterize immune-cell distributions in paired peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and to evaluate the percentage of cells with low mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP-Low%), mitochondrial mass (MM), and PD-1 expression. Results: In severe patients, the proportions of CD3 Conclusion: CSF T cells in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis display a state of dysfunctional mitochondrial accumulation, suggesting a possible dysregulation of mitochondrial mass homeostasis under the central inflammatory milieu. Mitochondrial features of peripheral T cells indicate the presence of systemic immune exhaustion. The MMP-Low% of CSF CD8
