Harmful and beneficial antibodies in immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
Review in Clinical and experimental immunology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Two facts support the definition of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) as an immune disorder. First, antibodies against platelets, which often appear after a viral infection, provoke the increased elimination of these cells. Viral disease may change the complex immune response of the host at different levels. In chronic ITP, the consequences of the dysregulated immune system are autoantibodies, primarily against platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa. Second, pooled immunoglobulins from healthy blood donors may influence the imbalanced immune response in ITP. The initial study dose of 5 x 0.4 g of intact 7S IgG/kg body weight can now be reduced to 2 x 0.4 g/kg body weight in the majority of patients. The possible mechanisms of action of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) are reviewed and updated in this article. The combination of effects on the humoral and cellular immune responses using IVIG in concert with cytokines may open up new therapeutic possibilities.
