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

Immunoglobulins are glycoproteins produced by the cells of the immune system. Their primary function is to protect the body from pathogenic infection. Moreover, a concentrated polyclonal mixture of immunoglobulin G (IgG), the so-called intravenous IgG (IVIG), has been used to treat various chronic and systemic disorders of the immune system. Studies on the effects of IVIG in autoimmune disease models have revealed that IgG Fc fragments confer protection against various autoimmune diseases. The identification of this IgG Fc immunomodulatory component is important for the development of IVIG substitutes. The focus of this review is to introduce one of the Fc regulatory entities and to provide a summary of the current knowledge of the putative general mechanisms underlying IVIG activity in vivo on the basis of these Fc fragments. We also address the recent insights into several approaches for the development of IVIG substitutes.
