Human immune globulin 10% with recombinant human hyaluronidase in multifocal motor neuropathy.
Trial report in Journal of neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe primary aim was to determine the safety of treatment with human immune globulin 10% with recombinant human hyaluronidase (fSCIg) compared to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in a prospective open-label study in patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN).
methodsOur study consisted of two phases: the IVIg phase (visits 1-3; 12 weeks), in which patients remained on IVIg treatment, and the fSCIg phase (visits 4-7; 36 weeks), in which patients received fSCIg treatment. After visit 3, IVIg was switched to an equivalent dose and frequency of fSCIg. Outcome measures were safety, muscle strength, disability and treatment satisfaction.
resultsEighteen patients were enrolled in this study. Switching to fSCIg reduced the number of systemic adverse events (IVIg 11.6 vs. fSCIg 5.0 adverse events/per person-year, p < 0.02), and increased the number of local reactions at the injection site (IVIg 0 vs. fSCIg 3.3 local reactions/per person-year, p < 0.01). Overall, no significant differences in muscle strength and disability between fSCIg and IVIg were found. Treatment with fSCIg was perceived as optimal treatment option by 8 of the 17 patients (47.1%) and they continued with fSCIg after study closure because of improved independence and flexibility to administer treatment.
conclusionTreatment with fSCIg can be considered a safe alternative for patients with MMN on IVIg treatment. fSCIg could be a favorable option in patients who prefer self-treatment and more independency, and in patients who experience systemic adverse events on IVIg or have difficult intravenous access.
