Video-Oculographic Saccadic Fatigability Distinguishes Myasthenia Gravis From Unilateral Ocular Motor Cranial Nerve Palsy in Diplopia: A Prospective Diagnostic Study.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveTo determine whether repetition-based saccadic fatigability measured with three-dimensional video-oculography (VOG) distinguishes myasthenia gravis (MG) from unilateral ocular motor cranial nerve palsy (CNP) in patients with diplopia.
methodsIn this prospective cross-sectional diagnostic study conducted from August 2022 to July 2024, consecutive patients with MG or unilateral third, fourth, or sixth CNP, and healthy controls underwent repetitive horizontal and vertical saccade testing (±°15 targets; 75 cycles at 0.25 Hz). Prespecified index metrics were percentage change in saccadic range and time to target acquisition from the second saccade to the mean of the last five saccades. Diagnostic discrimination was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsThe cohort comprised 231 participants: 93 with MG, 54 with CNP and 84 healthy controls. MG showed greater repetition-related range decrement and longer time to target acquisition than healthy controls and axis-matched CNP. In the horizontal comparison (MG vs. sixth CNP), AUCs were 0.800 for percentage range change and 0.787 for percentage time-to-target change. In the vertical comparison (MG vs. third/fourth CNP), percentage range change showed the best discrimination (AUC 0.868, 95% CI 0.783 to 0.934); a threshold of -5.95% yielded 79.6% sensitivity and 87.5% specificity. CNP showed early baseline slowing, whereas MG showed progressive hypometria with relatively preserved peak velocity.
conclusionsRepetition-based VOG captures a dynamic fatigability signature in MG that differs from the more static deficit of unilateral ocular motor CNP. Quantitative saccadic fatigability may provide a useful objective adjunct to the neuro-ophthalmic evaluation of diplopia.
