Intravenous immunoglobulin suppresses the polarization of both classically and alternatively activated macrophages.

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
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is one of the widely used immunotherapeutic molecules in the therapy of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Previous reports demonstrate that one of the anti-inflammatory actions of IVIG implicates suppression of macrophage activation and release of their inflammatory mediators. However, macrophages are highly plastic and depending on the microenvironmental signals, macrophages can be polarized into pro-inflammatory classic (M1) or anti-inflammatory alternative (M2) type. This plasticity of macrophages raised additional questions on the role of IVIG towards macrophage polarization. In the present report, we show that IVIG affects the polarization of both classically and alternatively activated macrophages and this process is F(ab')
