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 lymphoproliferative disease is a rare T and NK cell immune deficiency which most frequently presents as fulminant infectious mononucleosis following infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). We report the case of a 4-year-old boy from a Spanish family presenting with severe infectious mononucleosis. In the course of the disease he developed hepatic failure, pancytopenia and neurologic impairment, leading to death after less than 2 months. The results of bone marrow biopsy and autopsy indicated a histological diagnosis of both high-grade B-cell lymphoma and virus-associated haemophagocytic syndrome, thereby confirming the simultaneous presence of two different manifestations of X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) in this patient. The family history revealed four close male relatives dying under similar circumstances, one of whom died following a vaccination against measles. Molecular genetic studies identified a novel mutation in the SH2D1A gene in several members of the family, establishing the diagnosis of XLP. Fatal EBV infection in male infants is highly indicative of XLP. Virus-associated haemophagocytic syndrome and B-cell lymphoma can occur concomitantly and may be difficult to distinguish due to their similar histological pictures.
