Örjan Ouchterlony and the antigen-antibody double diffusion-in-gel: a survey.
Review in APMIS : acta pathologica, microbiologica, et immunologica Scandinavica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The Swedish scientist Örjan Ouchterlony published four ground-breaking papers 1948-1966 in Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand where he described a new method of antigen-antibody reactions in gel. He described and defined the 'reaction of identity' and 'reaction of partial identity' when he used related antigens and 'reaction of non-identity' when he used non-related antigens. His results inspired scientists in other countries to further develop and modify the 'Ouchterlony method' which became useful for both scientific and clinical purposes. This survey describes how the methods were discovered and how they became modified and improved and how they were used, but also underlines that the original Ouchterlony method is still used.
