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

objectivesAntibody-associated neurologic diseases often present with movement disorders (MDs). The frequency and clinical course of specific MDs in most antibody-associated disease subtypes remain largely unknown.

methodsWe performed a retrospective nationwide observational study on a large cohort of Dutch patients with antibody-associated neurologic diseases between January 2000 and April 2024 to describe associated MDs.

resultsWe identified 1,140 patients (56% female; 58/1,140 [5%] aged < 18 years; mean age 56 years [range 1-87]). The most common antibody targets were HuD (n = 212, 19%), NMDA receptor (NMDAR; n = 189, 17%), leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1; n = 187, 16%), and high-concentration glutamic acid decarboxylase 65-kilodalton isoform (GAD65; n = 135, 12%). MDs were present in 459 patients (42%) and represented the predominant and/or first symptom in 56% and 50% of cases, respectively. Cerebellar ataxia was by far the most common MD symptom (n = 235, mainly represented by Yo and GAD65), followed by dyskinesia (n = 61, mainly NMDAR), myoclonus (n = 51, mainly NMDAR), and stiff-person syndrome (n = 51, mainly GAD65). Syndromes associated with Yo- and delta/notch-like epidermal growth factor-related receptor (DNER/Tr) antibodies presented (almost) exclusively with MD (cerebellar ataxia) while the lowest MD frequency was observed in anti-gamma-aminobutyric acid B receptor (GABA DISCUSSION: MDs are common in antibody-associated neurologic diseases, occurring in 42% of patients, with varying frequencies depending on the specific subtype and antibody. MDs can be the first, predominant, and even only manifestation of these diseases. In addition, we also describe some novel antibody-MD associations. Antibody-associated neurologic diseases should be in the differential diagnosis of new-onset MDs, and we provide recommendations for rational antibody testing in different phenotypes.
