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

The kinetics of appearance of cells secreting IgG rheumatoid factor (IgG RF) has been studied in MRL/l mice by means of the ELISPOT assay, a new immunoenzyme procedure. Mice of the MRL/l strain spontaneously develop an autoimmune disease associated with arthritic manifestations. IgG RF secreting splenocytes were first detected at the clinical onset of the disease at the age of 3 months. Peak frequencies of IgG RF secreting cells amounting to almost 10% of the total number of IgG secreting cells were observed at later stages. The appearance of IgG RF secreting cells was preceded by at least 1 month by elevated levels of circulating immune complexes and abnormally high numbers of IgG secreting cells. The frequencies of IgG RF secreting cells and of IgG secreting splenocytes did not follow each other at least not during the first 3 months preceding the onset of clinical disease. The data presented suggest that IgG RF production in MRL/l mice is not triggered as part of an early stage of polyclonal activation but could be induced by IgG containing immune complexes.
