Intravenous immunoglobulin in therapy of peripheral neuropathy.
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 5 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
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) can be a manifestation of various neurological, infectious, metabolic, autoimmune, rheumatic, and malignant diseases. During the past decade, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) has been increasingly used in the therapy of PN. Compared with other immunomodulatory therapies, IVIg has an excellent safety profile. IVIg is used today as a first-line therapy in the treatment of Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and multifocal motor neuropathy. Some small studies and reports of clinical cases presented in this article found benefit from IVIg in treating PN associated with diabetes, paraproteinemia, HIV, multisystem rheumatic diseases, and paraneoplastic PN. No clear recommendations can be made relating the use of IVIg in these conditions. Prospective, randomized trials are required to clarify this issue.
