The role of complement in the immunopathogenesis of acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis: bystander or key player?
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 complement system is a key component of the innate immune system. In antiacetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive (Ab+) generalized myasthenia gravis (MG), complement activation has long been considered a principal driver of pathology. Understanding the role of complement in AChR-Ab+ generalized MG has gained increasing importance in recent years, as anticomplement drugs have been approved for clinical use or are undergoing phase II/III clinical trials. This review aims to discuss recent and previous findings on the role of complement in AChR-Ab+ MG pathology, including its interaction with pathogenic antibodies and mechanisms beyond the classical pathway activation.
