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

A number of mouse models have been utilized to study the pathophysiology of immune complex (IC) disease, and the hallmark IC disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Many of these studies have provided exciting new insights into IC-mediated inflammation and autoimmunity. However, numerous differences exist between mice and humans that suggest that mouse studies are not always applicable to human disease. These differences can be found in the biological systems that interact with circulating IC, in the specifics of disease presentation, and in the general physiology of the two species. Furthermore, although the mechanisms of SLE-like autoimmune disease in the mouse are being defined through analyses of the murine models of SLE, it remains to be proven that these mechanisms are relevant to human SLE. Thus, generalizing the results of the mouse studies to human SLE and other human IC diseases must be done with caution.
