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

objectiveTo retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Antibody Prevalence in Epilepsy and Encephalopathy (APE

methodsWe conducted a retrospective single-center study of consecutive referrals to a tertiary neuroimmunology clinic (January 2017-May 2023). AE diagnosis was determined by expert consensus based on clinical features, investigations, exclusion of alternative diagnoses, and immunotherapy response. APE

resultsEighty-five patients were included (56.5% female; mean age 53.8 years). Fifty-nine (69.4%) had AE (34 antibody-positive). APE
