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

Patients with chronic alcoholic liver disease show an increase in serum IgA with a preferential elevation of polymeric IgA. Furthermore, immune complexes containing IgA can be demonstrated. These changes may be explained by an alcohol-induced increase in intestinal permeability to macromolecular antigens leading to an IgA response, and by a decreased hepatic clearance of polymeric IgA not dependent on a secretory component. The prevalence of glomerular IgA deposits amounts to 50% in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis examined at autopsy. Polymeric and monomeric IgA, partially as immune complexes can be detected. However, urinary symptoms very rarely occur. The factors leading to glomerulonephritis following IgA deposition are poorly understood.
