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 antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterised by a procoagulant state that predisposes to recurrent thrombosis and miscarriages. Two major discoveries have advanced our understanding of the underlying complex pathogenesis of the APS. The first was the discovery that beta-2 glycoprotein-1 (β2GPI) is the major auto antigen in APS. The second was the discovery in more recent years that β2GPI contains allosteric disulphide bonds susceptible to posttranslational modification that may be involved in the development of autoantibodies in APS. The main allosteric disulphide bond in the fifth domain of β2GPI can exist in two redox states: free thiol or oxidised. It is the conformational transformation of β2GPI from its free thiol form to its more immunogenic oxidised form that exposes neo-epitopes on the first and fifth domains. The purpose of this review is to highlight the recent findings on the posttranslational forms of β2GPI in the pathogenesis of APS. We suggest that novel assays quantitating the different redox forms of β2GPI in plasma or serum may be used to supplement existing clinical and laboratory assays to more accurately stratify risk of thrombosis or miscarriage in APS patients.
