Antiphospholipid Antibody Testing for Anti-cardiolipin and Anti-β2 Glycoprotein I Antibodies Using Chemiluminescence-Based Panels.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Antiphospholipid (antibody) syndrome (APS) is a prothrombotic condition with increased risk for thrombosis and pregnancy-related morbidity. In addition to clinical criteria related to these risks, APS is characterized by the persistent presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), as detected in the laboratory using a potentially wide variety of assays. The three APS criteria-related assays are lupus anticoagulant (LA), as detected using clot-based assays, and the solid-phase assays of anti-cardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2GPI), with immunoglobulin subclasses of IgG and/or IgM. These tests may also be used for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In particular, APS diagnosis/exclusion remains challenging for clinicians and laboratories because of the heterogeneity of clinical presentations in those being evaluated and the technical application and variety of the associated tests used in laboratories. Although LA testing is affected by a wide variety of anticoagulants, which are often given to APS patients to prevent any associated clinical morbidity, detection of solid-phase aPL is not influenced by these anticoagulants, and this thus represents a potential advantage to their application. On the other hand, various technical issues challenge accurate laboratory detection or exclusion of aPL. This report describes protocols for the assessment of solid-phase aPL, specifically aCL and aβ2GPI of IgG and IgM class by means of a chemiluminescence-based assay panel. These protocols reflect tests able to be performed on the AcuStar instrument (Werfen/Instrumentation Laboratory). Certain regional approvals may also allow this testing to be performed on a BIO-FLASH instrument (Werfen/Instrumentation Laboratory).
