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

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune di sease characterized by muscle weakness. Experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) serves as an animal model for MG research. Despite advancements in EAMG modeling, limited drug absorption and variability in disease manifestation among animals resulted in a low success rate of model induction. This study aimed to optimize and standardize the modeling process by exploring different induction conditions to improve success rates. We employed female Lewis rats and C57BL/6 mice to compare their sensitivity to model induction and applied a controlled variable approach to acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and H37Ra dosage, mixing time, and injection sites. Results showed that Lewis rats were more suitable than C57BL/6 mice, and 75 µg AChR peptides were more effective than 50 µg. The immune-boosting effect of 1 mg H37Ra Mycobacterium tuberculosis was weaker than 2 mg. While drug mixing time had little impact, increasing injection sites on backs and including foot pads injection, significantly improved drug absorption.
