Immunoglobulins in adult sepsis and septic shock.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2012. 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
For more than 30 years, intravenously administered immunoglobulins (ivIG) have been used to treat primary and secondary syndromes of immune deficiency. Increasing insight into pathomechanisms of severe sepsis and septic shock have led to the implementation of ivIG therapy in the strategies for adjunctive therapy in sepsis in both adults and children. Direct antitoxic effects, as well as indirect immunomodulatory mechanisms of ivIG have been described in the literature and were the basis for the rationale to use these substances in life-threatening infections and hyperinflammatory states. Several clinical trials have been performed, most of them as minor, investigator-initiated protocols. This review summarizes the results of clinical investigations and systematic meta-analyses that have implications for the development of therapeutic strategies, and international guidelines for the management of severe sepsis and septic shock in adult patients.
