Review in Journal of clinical immunology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 108 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Although secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) is important in mucosal immunity. selective IgA deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency of humans. In most cases this defect is not associated with any illness. The reasons for this are unknown, but other immunological compensations might provide sufficient or complete restitution. Alternatively, it is possible that IgA deficiency alone may not predispose to disease, but additional immunological abnormalities might be present in symptomatic individuals. Some IgA-deficient individuals have a reduced antibody response to immunizations (even with normal IgG and IgM levels) and others have deficient responses to bacterial polysaccharides when IgG subclass levels are normal. The physiological role of IgA, the frequency and causes of IgA deficiency, the diseases associated with its absence, and current limited understanding of the pathogenesis of selective IgA deficiency will be reviewed.
