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

We present results from clinical studies on plasma infusion done in the late 1970s in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia in which we documented the short half-life of both total and allergen-specific IgE in serum. The development of specific allergic sensitization in the skin of those patients followed by the gradual decrease in sensitization over 50 days was also documented. The data are included here along with a discussion of the existing literature about the half-life of IgE in both the circulation and skin. This rostrum reinterprets the earlier clinical studies in light of new insights and mechanisms that could explain the rapid removal of IgE from the circulation. These mechanisms have clinical implications that relate to the increasing use of anti-IgE mAbs for the treatment of allergic disease.
