Review in Journal of clinical immunology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by the presence of pathogenic autoantibodies against beta 2-glycoprotein-I (beta 2GPI). The factors causing production of anti-beta 2GPI remain unidentified, but an association with infectious agents has been reported. Studies on experimental APS models proved that molecular mimicry between beta 2GPI-related synthetic peptides and structures within bacteria, viruses, tetanus toxoid, and CMV are a cause for experimental APS. Any explanation of how microbial infections might set off APS must take into account the observation that all individuals appear to harbor potentially autoreactive lymphocytes, as well as natural antiphospholipid antibodies, but that these cells or antibodies remain innocuous unless somehow activated. Herein, we discuss the association of antiphospholipid antibodies in the infectious state, molecular mimicry as a proposed cause for development of APS, and the contribution of the database to this topic.
