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

Introduction: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, typically presenting with optic neuritis, transverse myelitis or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. While viral triggers such as Epstein-Barr virus and adenovirus have been reported, an association with enterovirus meningitis is not well documented. Case presentation: We report a 17-year-old female who presented with enterovirus meningitis confirmed by cerebrospinal fluid PCR and leptomeningeal enhancement on MRI. One week later, she developed right optic neuritis with MRI-confirmed optic nerve enhancement. Serum myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG was positive (1:160), confirming MOGAD. She fully recovered after intravenous steroids and oral taper. Conclusion: This case suggests enterovirus meningitis may trigger MOGAD and highlights the need to consider post-infectious demyelination in patients with new neurological symptoms following viral meningitis.
