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

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disorder of neuromuscular junction transmission that is mediated by autoantibodies and depends on T cell help, causing fatigable muscle weakness. Limitations of conventional first-line treatments, including long-term adverse effects and inadequate control of refractory disease, have driven targeted therapy to the forefront of MG research. This narrative review summarizes second-line and later-line targeted biological and cellular therapies, covering agents directedat B and T cells, complement inhibitors, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonists and cytokine inhibitors, with emphasis on mechanisms, efficacy, safety and regulatory status. Several key knowledge gaps remain, particularly around treatment positioning, evidence tailored to disease subtypes and long-term safety. The most recent pivotal trial and real-world evidence is incorporated, and key priorities for future research are outlined.
