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

backgroundMyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) can radiographically mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). The disease hallmarks cortical lesion, central vein sign (CVS) and paramagnetic rim lesions identified in MS have not yet been comprehensively investigated in MOGAD.

methodsWe have characterized 45 patients with MOGAD using 7.0 Tesla (7 T) MRI at two academic research hospitals in China and Germany. 7 T MRI, laboratory, and clinical data were collected. The classification of cortical lesions, proportion of CVS, and the phase shifts of lesions on susceptibility weighted imaging were analyzed.

resultsOf the 45 patients enrolled with MOGAD, 282 lesions were identified. We further detected 31 (11%) cortical lesions including leukocortical, intracortical, and subpial types, of which intracortical lesions (16/31, 52%) were frequently involved. CVS was identified in 53 (19%) lesions of 21 (47%) patients, 154 (55%) lesions showed multiple veins sign (MVS) in 30 (67%) patients. The number (4.3 ± 6.0 vs. 1.5 ± 2.1, p = 0.0049) and percentage (52% vs. 18%, p < 0.0001) of MVS lesions for each MOGAD patient were higher than those of CVS. Eight patients (18%) had 39 (14%) lesions of hypointense signal with paramagnetic phase shifts on SWI, showing nodular phase changes and irregular borders in appearance.

conclusionsIn our observational MOGAD cohort, all three types of cortical lesions were recognized, with intracortical lesions being the most common. The number and proportion of lesions with MVS were higher than those with CVS. Lesions with paramagnetic phase changes were rare and non-rim-like in appearance. These findings provide a better understanding of the underlying pathology of MOGAD and will help in the differentiation of MOGAD from other demyelinating disorders.
