Comprehensive Review of Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Over Four Decades of Advances and Challenges.
Review in Cells, 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
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), first described in 1983, is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis, pregnancy complications, and persistent antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Over four decades, significant advancements have been made in understanding APS pathogenesis, diagnostics, and treatment. Key discoveries include the development of standardized anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) assays, the identification of β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) as a critical cofactor, and the elucidation of the "two-hit" hypothesis, which explains thrombotic events through a combination of aPL-induced prothrombotic priming and secondary external triggers. Recent research has highlighted the roles of complement activation, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and genetic predispositions shared with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Innovations like the antiphospholipid score (aPL-S) and updated classification criteria, including the 2023 ACR/EULAR guidelines, have improved diagnostic precision and risk stratification. Despite these advances, challenges remain in assay standardization and addressing seronegative APS. Future directions emphasize the integration of multimodal biomarkers, precision diagnostics, and targeted therapies aimed at complement and NET pathways. These efforts aim to achieve individualized care, improving outcomes for APS patients through harmonized diagnostics, mechanistic therapeutics, and data-driven approaches. This review underscores the evolving understanding of APS and its potential for personalized management strategies.
