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 is characterized by thrombosis, recurrent fetal loss, and the presence of the lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies, or anti-β(2)-glycoprotein-1 (anti-β(2)-GP1) antibodies. Although anti-β(2)-GP1 antibodies have been documented as a biomarker for diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, their direct role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis is unknown. We have demonstrated using intravital microscopy that anti-β(2)-GP1 autoantibodies purified from the sera of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome complicated by thrombosis greatly amplify thrombus size after laser-induced vessel wall injury in live mice. Anti-β(2)-GP1 autoantibodies from 3 patients with antiphospholipid syndrome were affinity-purified using human β(2)-GP1 bound to agarose. The effects of purified anti-β(2)-GP1 IgG autoantibodies, of anti-β(2)-GP1-depleted IgG, and of IgG from normal human sera on thrombus formation were measured in mice after arterial injury in the cremaster muscle. Before injury, purified anti-β(2)-GP1 IgG autoantibodies, anti-β(2)-GP1 antibody-depleted IgG, or IgG from normal human sera were infused. Increasing amounts of purified anti-β(2)-GP1 autoantibodies increased thrombus size in a dose-dependent manner, whereas neither anti-β(2)-GP1 antibody-depleted IgG nor IgG from normal serum affected thrombus size. These results indicate that anti-β(2)-GP1 IgG autoantibodies in antiphospholipid syndrome patient sera are not only a marker of antiphospholipid syndrome but are directly involved in the pathogenesis of thrombosis.
