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

The glycosylation of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of immunoglobulins (Ig) is critical for the modulation of antibody effects on inflammation. Moreover, antibody glycosylation may induce pathologic modifications and ultimately contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases. Thanks to progress in the analysis of glycosylation, more data are available on IgG and its subclass structures in the context of autoimmune diseases. In this review, we focused on the impact of Ig glycosylation in autoimmunity, describing how it modulates the immune response and how glycome profiles can be used as biomarkers of disease activity. The analysis of antibody glycosylation demonstrated specific features in human autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune liver diseases, among others. Within the same disease, different patterns are associated with disease severity and treatment options. Future research may increase the information available on the distinct glycome profiles and expand their potential role as biomarkers and as targets for treatment, ultimately favoring an individualized approach.
