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

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of Yimmug, a novel, highly purified, 10% human plasma-based intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) preparation, in patients with secondary immunodeficiency (SID) under real-world conditions. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis interim analysis is based on data from a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional study conducted with out-patients in Germany. Effectiveness was assessed by changes in (i) serum IgG levels, (ii) severe infection rates, (iii) clinical symptoms, and (iv) patient-reported quality of life (QoL) at three treatment intervals (after 3, 12, and 24 IVIG infusions) compared to baseline. Safety was evaluated through documentation of adverse events (AEs), including adverse drug reactions (ADRs), while tolerability was assessed by investigators.

resultsA total of 119 SID patients received 726 IVIG infusions at a median (IQR) dose of 0.3 (0.2 - 0.3) g/kg over a median (IQR) duration of 1.4 (0.4 - 2.9) years, with a median interval of 30.1 days between infusions. Serum IgG trough levels increased, with the proportion of patients achieving IgG ≥ 6 g/L rising from 30.3% at baseline to 66.7% after both 12 and 24 infusions. The mean annual rate of infections requiring antibiotics decreased from 2.3 at baseline to 0.0 after 3 and 12, and to 0.4 after 24 infusions, respectively. The new IVIG was well tolerated, and patients' clinical symptoms and QoL improved during treatment. AEs were reported in 20 (16.8%) patients, with 41 events in total, while ADRs occurred in 9 (7.6%) patients, with 16 events. Serious AEs (SAEs) occurred in 4 (3.4%) patients, involving 5 events, but no serious ADRs (SADRs) were reported.

conclusionThis interim analysis shows that the risks are minor compared to the benefits of this novel IVIG preparation in the management of SID.
