Rapid Symptomatic Improvement and Long-Term Minimal Symptom Expression in a Myasthenia Gravis Patient Treated With Zilucoplan Without Maintenance Cholinesterase Inhibitors, Corticosteroids, or Immunosuppressants: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder, often requiring long-term immunosuppressive treatment. Although complement C5 inhibitors, such as zilucoplan, have shown robust efficacy in clinical trials, evidence of their use without maintenance cholinesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids, or other immunosuppressants remains limited. In this report, I describe a woman in her late 60s with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive generalized MG, who achieved rapid symptomatic improvement and minimal symptom expression with zilucoplan. Clinical stability was sustained for at least one and a half years without concomitant cholinesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids, or other immunosuppressants. This case suggests that zilucoplan may represent an effective and durable treatment option for generalized MG.
