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

Little information is currently available on the outcome and the long-term restoration of immune function in infants with Omenn syndrome (OS) treated with bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We prospectively followed patients with OS who received matched unrelated donor (MUD) BMT at our center. Engraftment, immune reconstitution, and transplant-related complications were recorded. Humoral and cellular immunity were evaluated. Six patients with OS were diagnosed at a mean age of 4.6 months and received a matched unrelated donor BMT as the first BMT at the mean age of 9.4 months. All six patients are alive and well at a mean 95 months after transplant. All patients have evidence of full hemopoetic engraftment and robust immune function. We have shown here that matched unrelated donor BMT is highly effective in curing patients with OS regardless of their genotype. This mode of treatment should be preferred for patients with OS when a related identical donor is not available.
