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

Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare disease wherein autoantibodies target the ganglionic acetylcholine receptor (gAChR). Current diagnosis in the United States depends upon clinical symptoms and positive autoantibody detection using a radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIA). Here we offer a proof-of-principle study on an alternative method, fluorescence-detection size-exclusion-chromatography (FSEC). We show FSEC can detect autoantibodies against gAChR from patient sera but not healthy controls or samples from other autoimmune diseases. We compare FSEC to RIA and find good correlation. We discuss potential advantages of using FSEC as an alternative or as a first-step diagnostic prior to pursuing existing methodologies.
