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

Introduction: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) contains a conserved N-glycan in the fragment crystallizable (Fc), modulating its structure and effector functions. In anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) alterations of IgG Fc-glycosylation have been observed to correlate with the disease course. Here, we examined longitudinal changes in N Methods: Using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, we analysed IgG Fc-glycosylation in 410 longitudinal samples from 96 individuals with AAV. Results: Analysis of the cross-sectional differences as well as longitudinal changes demonstrated that IgGs of relapsing PR3-ANCA patients have higher ΔFc-bisection at diagnosis ( Discussion: Our data indicate that IgG Fc-bisection correlates with long-term treatment outcome, while lower IgG Fc-fucosylation and sialylation associate with impending relapse. Overall, our study replicated the previously published reduction in total IgG Fc-sialylation at the time of relapse, but showed additionally that its onset precedes relapse. Furthermore, our findings on IgG fucosylation and bisection are entirely new. All these IgG Fc-glycosylation features may have the potential to predict a relapse either independently or in combination with known risk factors, such as a rise in ANCA titre.
