Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in antiphospholipid syndrome.
Review in Clinical reviews in allergy & immunology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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) is an autoimmune disorder defined by the occurrence of venous and arterial thromboses and pregnancy morbidity, frequently accompanied by a moderate thrombocytopenia, in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. There is both laboratory and clinical evidence for the beneficial role of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in APS. Data on the use of IVIg in patients with APS have focused on its obstetric complications and antiphospholipid antibodies-positive patients undergoing in vitro fertilization, but there are also case reports about treatments of other clinical manifestations (mainly hematological) of the syndrome. Future research should determine when to use anticoagulation, IVIg, or both in the treatment of APS.
