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

introductionData on the post-diagnosis experience of individuals with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) and their caregivers are limited. We explored post-diagnosis treatment experience and satisfaction with care in individuals with MOGAD and associated caregiver burden.

methodsAn online 57-question survey was distributed internationally to adults (aged ≥ 16 years) or caregivers assisting an adult or answering on behalf of a child (aged < 16 years) from October to December 2024.

resultsOverall, 261 responses were collected (adults, 219; children, 42) across 27 countries. Of those prescribed a preventative treatment, 43% of adults (n = 71/167) and 42% of children (n = 13/31) stopped treatment; common reasons were side effects and lack of efficacy. Most adults (73%) and children (64%) reported difficulties accessing/trying to access MOGAD treatment and care. Substantial dissatisfaction was reported for chronic symptom management for adults (35%) and psychological/emotional support for children (31%). Compared with individuals with MOGAD (N = 261), caregivers (of adults, n = 61; of children, n = 42) were significantly more likely to report mental health impacts (26% vs 92%, respectively; p < 0.001).

conclusionPersistent unmet care and support needs exist for individuals with MOGAD. Treatments were often stopped/changed, highlighting the need for more efficacious, tolerable, and approved therapies. Caregivers experience significant mental health impacts; improved support is needed.
