Autoantibodies, elevated cytokines, and neurocognitive abnormalities in offspring of women with systemic lupus erythematosus: comparison with healthy controls.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionResearch describes higher incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities in offspring of women affected by lupus. Factors implied are pregnancy and delivery adversities and exposure to maternal antibodies and cytokines. Little is known about the offspring immunological condition or the relation between offspring and maternal condition.
objectivesThis study was conducted in order to analyze immunological configuration, psychopathology, and neuropsychological performance of young offspring of women with lupus, in comparison with healthy controls and in relation to maternal psychophysical condition.
methodsTwenty-one offspring aged 8-17 of 17 women with lupus and 34 controls were recruited. Pregnancy conditions, stress factors, and immunological, psychopathological, and neuropsychological characteristics were compared. Immunological tests included standard lupus screening, lupus-related autoantibodies, antibodies against GluN2 subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) (anti-DWEYS Ab), and levels of ten cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, GMCSF, IFN-γ, TNF-α).
resultsOffspring had lower leukocyte count (p = 0.001) and higher levels of anti-dsDNA Ab (p = 0.022), anti-DWEYS-GluN2 Ab (p < 0.001), and eight cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α-all p < 0.001-and IFN-γ, p = 0.026) than controls. Their cytokine levels did not differ from their mothers'; 23.9% of offspring met the criteria for a clinical psychiatric diagnosis. No differences were found in intelligence measures. Various neuropsychological scores correlated inversely with maternal psychophysical health.
conclusionsOffspring's profile suggests proinflammatory and autoimmune activation. Their rate of psychiatric diagnosis appears higher than in the general population, and their cognitive performance is related to maternal psychophysical health. Longitudinal research might investigate whether immunological and psychosocial conditions influence psychopathology and cognition.
