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

IgG is a key to adaptive immunity and a critical platform for drug design. Sialic acid on the conserved glycan within the Fc domain is believed to promote anti-inflammatory IgG function; however, regulation of sialylation remains poorly defined. We previously showed that IgG sialylation is primarily mediated by B cell-extrinsic processes in mice. Here, we found that IgG sialylation occurs in the subcellular compartments of the FcRn-mediated IgG recycling pathway of endothelial cells. This process is down-regulated by inflammatory signals and up-regulated during gestation, providing mechanistic insight into the epidemiology associating IgG glycosylation, pregnancy and inflammatory disease. These findings demonstrate that plasma-localized IgG glycosylation is dynamically altered by the endothelium, revealing a potential mechanism through which the function of all endogenous and administered IgG and Fc-containing pharmaceuticals could be altered.
