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 AND

objectivesIt is currently difficult to accurately predict who, after the index event of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), will develop relapsing disease (R-MOGAD). Several clinical features have been reported as possibly predictive, but none have been validated in clinical practice. We used a prospectively designed analysis to assess a combined model of reported clinical prognosticators for developing R-MOGAD in 101 patients with MOGAD (86% with onset in adulthood) from 3 UK specialist centers.

methodsA multivariable binary logistic regression model using variables identified from a scoping literature review was fitted in a retrospective clinical data set of patients with MOGAD (Nottingham MS & Neuroinflammation Centre [NUH]), with validation analysis in 2 independent data sets (Walton NMOSD Specialist Centre [WSC]; Imperial College London [ICL]). Secondary analysis investigated time to first relapse using Cox proportional hazards on the combined cohort. Results from the significant variables from the initial analysis were further examined in a meta-analysis of relevant literature studies.

resultsIn the Neuroinflammation - Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust data set (n = 33), treatment with steroids ≥10 mg for ≥ 3 months after the index event was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of developing R-MOGAD ( DISCUSSION: Prednisolone ≥10 mg for ≥ 3 months after the index event was associated with a lower likelihood of relapsing MOGAD. This association was supported in first external cohort and directionally consistent but inconclusive in a second, smaller cohort. Further prospective multicenter studies are required to assess the reproducibility and clinical utility of this association.
