Trial report in Journal of clinical immunology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00391131 (A Multi-centre, Open-label Study to Assess the Efficacy, Tolerability, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneous Infusions of Ig NextGen 16% in Patients With Primary Immunodeficiency), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

This phase III, open-label, multi-centre study investigated the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and quality of life impact of Evogam(®), a new chromatographically fractionated 16% subcutaneous immunoglobulin, utilising a 1:1 dose transition ratio from previous immunoglobulin therapy. Thirty-five previously treated patients with primary immunodeficiency received weekly Evogam over 36 weeks. Primary endpoints were rate of serious bacterial infections (SBIs) and steady-state serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) trough concentrations. No SBIs were reported during the study. Evogam produced significantly higher mean trough IgG concentrations with 1:1 dose conversion compared to previous immunoglobulin treatment (8.94 versus 8.27 g/L, p = 0.0063). Evogam was efficacious in the prevention of infections and maintenance of trough levels using a 1:1 dose conversion. It was well tolerated with no withdrawals due to adverse events and was preferred to IVIg by the majority of patients.
