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

Current treatments for antibody-mediated autoimmunity are associated with lack of specificity, leading to immunosuppressive effects. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a class of antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of autoimmunity involving antibodies that recognize the autoantigen, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). These agents ("Seldegs," for selective degradation) selectively eliminate antigen (MOG)-specific antibodies without affecting the levels of antibodies of other specificities. Seldeg treatment of mice during antibody-mediated exacerbation of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by patient-derived MOG-specific antibodies results in disease amelioration. Consistent with their therapeutic effects, Seldegs deliver their targeted antibodies to Kupffer and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells that are known to have tolerogenic effects. Our results show that Seldegs can ameliorate disease mediated by MOG-specific antibodies and indicate that this approach also has the potential to treat other autoimmune diseases where the specific clearance of antibodies is required.
