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

Freely soluble and complexed plasma immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgG, IgM, C1q, C3, and factor B in 36 human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1)-seronegative controls, 69 asymptomatic HIV+ subjects, and 117 individuals with symptomatic HIV-associated disease were characterized. Levels of free and complexed IgG and IgA, and to a lesser extent free C1q and complexed IgM, increased with HIV-1 infection. In stark contrast, both HIV+ groups showed three- to sixfold declines in complexed C3, C1q, and factor B levels. The asymptomatic HIV+ population showed declines in levels of C3-bound IgA, IgG2, and IgG4 complexes. The asymptomatic group showed reductions in C3-complexed IgM, IgA, IgG2, and IgG4 levels. HIV infection is associated with complement-deficient immune complexes.
