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: Paraneoplastic autoimmune encephalitis (PAE) is most commonly associated with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Anti- Case presentation: A 75-year-old man presented with episodic impaired consciousness, behavioural disturbance and rapid cognitive decline. Brain MRI showed bilateral hippocampal signal abnormalities. A cell-based assay (CBA) detected anti-GABABR antibodies at high titre in serum (1:3200) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; 1:1000), while a tissue-based assay (TBA) on rat brain confirmed a neuronal cell-surface staining pattern; the full paraneoplastic panel, including anti-SOX1, was negative, and initial tumour screening was unrevealing. A diagnosis of anti-GABABR encephalitis (initially regarded as non-paraneoplastic) was made and the patient improved with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), high-dose corticosteroids and maintenance mycophenolate mofetil. During a refractory second relapse 5 months later, repeat CBA showed rising anti-GABA Conclusion: Apparently isolated anti-GABA
