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

Studies were undertaken to elucidate the primary pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for immunoglobulin (Ig) A immune complexes formation and glomerular deposition in vivo. Monomeric (mIgA) and polymeric IgA (pIgA) anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) were purified from MOPC 315 myeloma. A DNP-conjugated Ficoll was used as an antigen. For simulation of natural conditions of in vivo immune complex formation, 131I-DNP-Ficoll and 125I-IgA were administered through the intravenous and intraperitoneal routes, respectively. The kinetics half-life (t1/2) of the antigen (2.9 hours) and either the pIgA (7.2 hours) or mIgA (6.3 hours) in the experimental groups was not significantly different from the control. Glomerular IgA immune deposits were detectable only in mice that received pIgA and DNP-Ficoll. Plasma samples analyzed by gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed formation of large- and intermediate-sized pIgA complexes in circulation prior to glomerular deposition. Although mIgA failed to interact with such complexes in the circulation, it did bind to the pIgA immune deposits in the glomerulus. These results indicate that glomerular IgA immune deposits evolve from the localization of preformed circulating pIgA complexes that eventuates an in situ mIgA-mediated complex formation.
