Production of heterologous IgG antibody against Heymann nephritis antigen by injections of immune complexes.
Article in International journal of experimental pathology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Heterologous IgG antibody (ab) can be produced against Heymann nephritis (HN) antigen (ag) in rabbits by administering it in Freund's complete adjuvant. The developing abs reacted at high titre with rat kidney brush border (BB) regions of the renal proximal tubules in an indirect fluorescence ab test. A single IV injection of the heterologous ab into a susceptible strain of rat resulted in the localization of IgG ab to glomerular fixed ags, producing immune complex glomerular nephritis. The injected ab also reacted with the BB region of the renal proximal tubules. The aim of this experiment was to find out whether heterologous IgG ab against the HN ag can also be produced in recipient rabbits by injecting immune complexes (ICs) composed of a rat kidney tubular preparation [rat kidney fraction 3 (rKF3)] and donor rabbit-derived rabbit anti-rKF3 IgG ab. We found that anti-rKF3 IgG ab--against the BB region of the renal proximal tubules--could be induced in rabbits injected with ICs, and the resulting ab was able to initiate passive HN in rats. This was the first time a pathogenic IgG ab was produced against HN ag in rabbits without the use of adjuvant. Ab responses in recipient rabbits were achieved by ab information transfer. Recipient rabbits injected with the IC produced the same class of immunoglobulin with the same specificity against the target ag rKF3, as was present in the innoculum, namely rabbit anti-rKF3 IgG ab.
