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

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune, demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include optic neuritis, longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) involving three or more vertebral segments, and, in most cases, seropositivity for anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies (AQP4-IgG). Although longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is a hallmark feature of NMOSD, it is not pathognomonic and may occur in a variety of infectious, metabolic, neoplastic, and autoimmune conditions, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we report the case of a female patient who presented with severe tetraparesis, secondary to transverse myelitis. Serological evaluation revealed positivity for anti-AQP4 antibodies, anti-dsDNA antibodies, and ENA antibodies, leading to the simultaneous diagnosis of NMOSD and SLE. Nevertheless, it remained uncertain whether the transverse myelitis represented a manifestation of NMOSD or neurological involvement of SLE.
