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

The treatment of primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) patients with immunoglobulin obtained from healthy controls, given intravenously, is a relatively recent event, having first been given in 1981. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement in PIDD has been shown to prevent serious/recurrent infections because higher IgG levels can be obtained through IV administration, as opposed to the intramuscular route. Significant variation in IgG levels in controls is dependent on age and sex, which provides the rationale for the concept that there is a "biological IgG trough/level", hereafter called biological IgG level, in PIDD, as there is in healthy controls. Each PIDD patient has a biological IgG level that can be altered by comorbid conditions that evoke IgG loss or changes in metabolism/catabolism. The pharmacokinetic comparison of IVIG vs. SCIG demonstrates the various benefits of each in treating PIDD. Acutely ill PIDD patients should only receive IVIG. "Rush" SCIG treatment can also be used to attain the biological IgG level, but for less emergent care of PIDD. Finally, future opportunities exist to enhance IgG replacement in PIDD, including microbe-specific IgG and IgG subclass-specific enriched preparations.
