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 agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a humoral immunodeficiency caused by mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). Patients typically become symptomatic during infancy or early childhood and develop recurrent bacterial infections. We report a Japanese case of XLA diagnosed in a patient who was 27 years of age and who had no history of severe infection. The patient's serum immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgA, and IgM levels were 132,7, and 17 mg/dL, respectively. The percentage of positive cells for CD19 and CD20 was 0.03% and 0.02%, respectively. The patient's brother and sister had no abnormalities. Flow cytometric analysis showed a partially reduced expression of BTK protein in the patient's peripheral monocytes. Sequencing of the BTK. gene revealed a missense mutation (230C>T,T33I). Given this data, this patient was diagnosed as having rare, late onset XLA with a missense mutation in the BTK gene.
