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 measurements of total platelet-associated immunoglobulin G following platelet lysis (PAIgG tot) and surface-restricted IgG (PAIgG ext) on intact, gel-filtered platelets from 36 normal human donors and 9 patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (CDC stages IIb-IV). For this purpose, an indirect micro ELI-SA technique was developed involving competition between PAIgG and solid-phase absorbed IgG for fixation of conjugated anti-human IgG antibody. In normal donors, the mean values of PAIgG tot was 8.3 +/- 7.4 (mean +/- 2 SD) and of PAIgG ext 4.2 +/- 4.4 fg/platelet. In HIV-infected subjects, PAIgG tot was 37.2 +/- 62.8 and PAIgG ext 17.1 +/- 23 fg/platelet. In healthy subjects the comparison of individual levels of PAIgG tot and PAIgG ext revealed a significant correlation (r:0.763; p: 0.003). These results are compared to those which have been reported in the literature. In addition, the major immunopathological mechanisms considered responsible for immune-mediated idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura are discussed.
