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 presence of autoantibodies is a defining feature of many autoimmune diseases. The number of unique autoantibody clones is conceivably limited by immune tolerance mechanisms, but unknown due to limitations of the currently applied technologies. Here, we introduce an autoantigen-specific liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based IgG1 Fab profiling approach using the anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) repertoire in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as an example. We show that each patient harbors a unique and diverse ACPA IgG1 repertoire dominated by only a few antibody clones. In contrast to the total plasma IgG1 antibody repertoire, the ACPA IgG1 sub-repertoire is characterised by an expansion of antibodies that harbor one, two or even more Fab glycans, and different glycovariants of the same clone can be detected. Together, our data indicate that the autoantibody response in a prominent human autoimmune disease is complex, unique to each patient and dominated by a relatively low number of clones.
