mGem: When immunity turns against itself-GM-CSF autoantibodies drive opportunistic infection risk.
Review in mBio, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Anti-cytokine autoantibodies represent an expanding field in immunology, and their study has revealed crucial insights into immune cell dysfunction. These autoantibodies are now classified by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) as phenocopies of primary immunological deficiencies within the broader category of inborn immunity defects. Indeed, the critical importance of these autoantibodies became starkly apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic when patients with type I interferon autoantibodies showed significantly higher rates of severe illness. This review examines how neutralizing autoantibodies, exemplified by those targeting granulocyte monocyte stimulating factor, can compromise immune function in otherwise immunocompetent individuals, making them more susceptible to specific fungal and bacterial infections. This understanding highlights the crucial role of anti-cytokine antibodies in infection susceptibility and immune system regulation.
