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: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a clinically heterogeneous demyelinating disorder. Current knowledge of its phenotypic spectrum and optimal treatment strategies, especially in Asian populations, remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the clinical and imaging features of MOGAD in a Northern Chinese cohort and to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody ofatumumab. Design: A retrospective study in a single center. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 108 patients who tested positive for MOG antibodies between June 2018 and August 2025, ultimately diagnosing 56 patients with MOGAD comprising 17 pediatric and 39 adult cases. Clinical, imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) data were systematically reviewed. Ten patients received ofatumumab treatment for relapse prevention. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University (SWYX: NO.2025-709) and written consent was obtained from all participants. Results: Cortical encephalitis was the most frequent phenotype (41.1%, 23/56), followed by Unifocal Demyelination (39.3%, 22/56). Radiographically, 94.4% of patients exhibited 1-3 lesions, predominantly in cortical regions. CSF analysis revealed elevated cell counts and protein levels, with significant variation across phenotypes ( Conclusion: This study delineates a distinct clinical-radiological profile of MOGAD in Northern China, characterized by a high frequency of cortical encephalitis. Furthermore, it provides preliminary evidence that ofatumumab may be a potential steroid-sparing therapeutic option for MOGAD.
