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

The complement system is critical to the body's innate defense against exogenous pathogens and clearance of endogenous waste, comprising the classical, alternative, and lectin pathways. Although tightly regulated, various congenital and acquired diseases can perturb the complement system, resulting in specific complement deficiencies. Systemic rheumatic, neurological, ophthalmological, renal, and hematological disorders are some prototypical complement-mediated diseases. An adequate understanding of the mechanisms of the normal complement system and the pathophysiology of complement dysregulation is critical for providing diagnostic clues and appropriately managing these conditions. This review guides clinicians in understanding the role of complement factors in systemic diseases and what diagnostic and therapeutic options are available for complement-mediated disorders.
