Role of Nijmegen breakage syndrome protein in specific T-lymphocyte activation pathways.
Article in Clinical and diagnostic laboratory immunology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a genetic disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, microcephaly, and "bird-like" facies. NBS shares some clinical features with ataxia telangiectasia (AT), including increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation, increased spontaneous and induced chromosome fragility, and strong predisposition to lymphoid cancers. The mutated gene that results in NBS codes for a novel double-stranded DNA break repair protein, named nibrin. In the present work, a Spanish NBS patient was extensively characterized at the immunological and the molecular DNA levels. He showed low CD3(+)-cell numbers and an abnormal low CD4(+) naive cell/CD4(+) memory cell ratio, previously described in AT patients and also described in the present report in the NBS patient. The proliferative response of peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro to mitogens is deficient in NBS patients, but the possible link among NBS mutations and the abnormal immune response is still unknown.
