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

We recently identified the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U1-snRNP) antibodies in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which is associated with the breakdown of the blood-nerve barrier (BNB). The objective of this study was to clarify the clinical significance of U1-snRNP antibodies in patients with GBS and its variants. We measured U1-snRNP antibodies using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from the serum samples of patients with GBS (n = 106), Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) (n = 24), and MFS/GBS overlap syndrome (MFS/GBS, n = 8). We compared the clinical characteristics of U1-snRNP positive and U1-snRNP negative GBS patients (n = 106). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/serum albumin quotient (QALB)/QALBLIM [calculated as(age/15) + 4)] was calculated. The prevalence of U1-snRNP antibody positivity was 39% (41/106) in GBS, 0% (0/24) in MFS, and 50% (4/8) in MFS/GBS. The rate of U1-snRNP antibody positivity in the GBS and MFS/GBS groups was significantly higher than that in the MFS group. Levels of CSF proteins and QALB/QALBLIM were higher in U1-snRNP antibody-positive GBS than in U1-snRNP antibody-negative GBS among all GBS patients, as well as GBS patients with a preceding
