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

introductionA 2.5-month old boy presented with recurrent wheezing, protracted diarrhea, erythrodermia, and failure to thrive. METHODS AND

resultsLaboratory analysis showed lymphocytopenia with severely reduced T-cell numbers but normal numbers of B and NK cells. Serum IgE was increased and the patient had eosinophilia. These presentations are consistent with atypical severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)/Omenn Syndrome and the diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of homozygosity for the R841W mutation in the catalytic core of RAG1. Comparison of the patient's immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangements to those of age-matched controls, cord blood, and adults revealed an almost total lack of nonproductive rearrangements (2.7% versus 14.7%, 27.6%, and 19.8% in the controls, respectively) indicating failure to correct out-of-frame rearrangements by a second rearrangement on the homologous chromosome 14.

conclusionWe hypothesize that the R841W mutation causes a malfunction of RAG1 that has differential outcome on V(D)J recombination in B and T cells, as the patient had normal B cell numbers but suffered severe alpha-beta T-cell immunodeficiency.
