Caprylate/chromatography process to produce highly purified tetanus immune globulin from human plasma.
Article in Epidemiology and infection, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
While tetanus toxoid vaccination has reduced the incidence of tetanus in the developed world, this disease remains a substantial health problem in developing nations. Tetanus immune globulin (TIG) is used along with vaccination for prevention of infection after major or contaminated wounds if vaccination status cannot be verified or for active tetanus infection. These studies describe the characterisation of a TIG produced by a caprylate/chromatography process. The TIG potency and presence of plasma protein impurities were analysed at early/late steps in the manufacturing process by chromatography, immunoassay, coagulation and potency tests. The caprylate/chromatography process has been previously shown to effectively eliminate or inactivate potentially transmissible agents from plasma-derived products. In this study, the caprylate/chromatography process was shown to effectively concentrate TIG activity and efficiently remove pro-coagulation factors, naturally present in plasma. This TIG drug product builds on the long-term evidence of the safety and efficacy of TIG by providing a product with higher purity and low pro-coagulant protein impurities.
