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

Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) represent a group of autoantibodies directed against phospholipids. These antibodies may arise in a number of autoimmune conditions, of which the antiphospholipid (antibody) syndrome (APS) is best recognized. aPL can be detected by various laboratory assays, essentially comprising both solid-phase (immunological) assays and "liquid-phase" clotting assays identifying so-called lupus anticoagulants (LA). aPL are associated with various adverse pathologies, including thrombosis and placental/fetal morbidity and mortality. The type of aPL present, as well as the pattern of reactivity, is variously associated with the severity of the pathology. Thus, laboratory testing for aPL is indicated to help assess the future risk of such events, as well as representing certain "classification" criteria for APS, also used as surrogates for diagnostic criteria. The current chapter overviews the laboratory tests available to measure aPL and their potential clinical utility.
