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

Gonadal hormones affect immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation, and the more proinflammatory IgG glycome composition might be one of the molecular mechanisms behind the increased proinflammatory phenotype in perimenopause. Using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, we analyzed IgG glycome composition in 5,080 samples from 1940 pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women. Statistically significant decrease in galactosylation and sialylation was observed in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, during the transition from pre- to postmenopausal period, the rate of increase in agalactosylated structures (0.051/yr; 95%CI = 0.043-0.059, p < 0.001) and decrease in digalactosylated (-0.043/yr; 95%CI = -0.050 to -0.037, p < 0.001) and monosialylated glycans (-0.029/yr; 95%CI = -0.034 to -0.024, p < 0.001) were significantly higher than in either pre- or postmenopausal periods. The conversion to the more proinflammatory IgG glycome and the resulting decrease in the ability of IgG to suppress low-grade chronic inflammation may be an important molecular mechanism mediating the increased health risk in perimenopause and postmenopause.
