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

CD40 ligand (CD40L) deficiency is an X-linked combined immunodeficiency characterized by impaired class switch recombination. We analyzed clinical and molecular findings in 11 Argentinian patients from seven unrelated families. The mean age at onset of symptoms was 1.1 years (0.5-3.0 years) and the 10 alive patients have a median age of 17 years. We identified two nonsense mutations, including R11X reported as a "hypomorphic" defect, four missense mutations, and one point deletion. Although R11X was associated herein with parvovirus B19-anemia and higher Igs levels as previously described, histoplasmosis and Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia were also present. Other so-called "milder" mutation, T254M, was present in three related patients clinically and immunologically undistinguishable from the rest of the cohort. Furthermore, 10 of the 11 patients, having heterogeneous mutations, never had persistent neutropenia, none presented Cryptosporidium sp. infection nor developed liver-biliary tract disease, highlighting the debatable concept of "milder" mutations.
