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

X-linked, or Bruton's, agammaglobulinemia (XLA) was described in 1952 as the congenital inability to form antibodies. Patients were typically infants or young children with recurrent, severe bacterial infections. Other, milder cases of hypogammaglobulinemia were considered "acquired," and often presented later in life. Since the discovery of the defective gene in XLA in 1993, it has been shown that a significant number of male patients with sporadic or acquired hypogammaglobulinemia actually have XLA. We present here a case of atypical XLA and discuss similar cases in the literature. We conclude that any male with hypogammaglobulinemia, regardless of age of presentation, might have XLA. Males with low B-cell numbers are particularly likely to have XLA and should have Bruton's tyrosine kinase levels assessed.
