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

purposeHighly pathogenic avian influenza viruses are a threat to human health. Although donor populations have not experienced pandemic, they have been immunized by natural infections and/or vaccinations of influenza viruses such as A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B. Therefore, it is considered that human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) derived from healthy donors does not include IgG against avian influenza viruses. However, cross-reactivity has not been evaluated yet. In this study, cross-reactivity against the avian influenza virus A/H5N1, A/H7N1, A/H7N2, A/H7N7, A/H7N9, and A/H10N9 was evaluated. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeveral lots of IVIG derived from healthy donors in Japan were tested for virus neutralization using single- or multi-cycle virus neutralizing (S-VN or M-VN) assays that evaluate the infection-step associated with HA or the infection and propagation steps associated with HA and NA, respectively. In addition, anti-NA activities were evaluated by inhibiting the enzymatic activity in NAI assays.

resultsIVIG lots showed high neutralizing activities against three A/H5N1 strains in M-VN assays, whereas activities in S-VN assays were unstable. In addition, A/H7N2 was also neutralized in S-VN and M-VN assays, with higher activity in M-VN than in S-VN assays. A/H7N1 was neutralized in S-VN and M-VN assays. In contrast, weak or no activity against A/H7N7, A/H7N9, and A/H10N9 was observed in S-VN and M-VN assays. NAI assay results show that IVIG lots had inhibitory activities against N1 and N2; however, N2 activities differed depending on the strain. In contrast, no activities were observed against N7 and N9.

conclusionThese results suggest that IVIG lots have neutralizing activity against avian influenza viruses during the virus propagation step, except for one strain, although no or weak activity was observed during the infection step.
