Long-Term Clinical and Biological Prognostic Factors of Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis in Children.
Observational study in Neurology(R) neuroimmunology & neuroinflammation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesAnti-NMDAR encephalitis (NMDARE) is a severe neurologic condition, and recently, the NMDAR Encephalitis One-Year Functional Status (NEOS) score has emerged as a 1-year prognostic tool. This study aimed to evaluate NEOS score and biomarker (neurofilament light chains [NfL], total-Tau protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and serum cytokines) correlation with modified Rankin Scale (mRS), cognitive impairment, and clinical recovery in pediatric NMDARE over 2 years.
methodsIn this French multicenter observational study, 104 pediatric patients with NMDARE were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Clinical data and serum/plasma samples were collected. Biomarker levels, measured using electroluminescence mesoscale discovery (MSD) S-PLEX, were compared between patients and controls and assessed for correlations with disease activity, mRS, cognitive/language impairment, and recovery status at 2 years.
resultsAt a median follow-up of 39.5 months, 68 percent of patients had unfavorable recovery and 54% had significant cognitive impairment. Both outcomes were strongly associated with younger age at diagnosis (OR 6.10 [1.91-27.3] DISCUSSION: The NEOS score strongly predicts long-term outcomes in NMDARE, with its predictive value extending beyond the first-year mR prediction. NfL levels at disease onset seem to improve accuracy in predicting poor outcomes, providing valuable information for treatment decisions and future clinical trials.
