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

BMT is curative in almost 75% of children affected by severe primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). Recently, the chance of cure has increased thanks to the availability of matched unrelated donors (MUDs). Nevertheless, besides the conventional indications to BMT (profound or absent T-cell function, profound or absent natural killer function, known syndromes with T-cell deficiencies), indications to BMT for PIDs affecting the quality of life or having an expectation of life that does not exceed the third-fourth decade remain unclear. Infact, if it is evident that the survival rate in an infant grafted for a PID with a MUD is expected to be more than 80%, alternative treatments such as gene therapy are now available.
