Two X-linked chronic granulomatous disease patients with unusual NADPH oxidase properties.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immune deficiency syndrome caused by defects in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, the enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in phagocytizing leukocytes. This study evaluates the NADPH oxidase capacity in two X-linked CGD patients with mutations in gp91(phox) that alter the regions in this membrane-bound NADPH oxidase component involved in docking of the cytosolic component p47(phox). MATERIALS AND
methodsHydrogen peroxide and superoxide generation, bactericidal activity, and NADPH oxidase protein expression by the patients' neutrophils were measured, and genetic analysis was performed.
resultsWe report two patients, each with a novel missense mutation in CYBB, the gene that encodes gp91(phox). Surprisingly, neutrophils from these patients showed total absence of superoxide production, although they retained 13-30% of the hydrogen peroxide production capability. We speculate that this is due to direct electron transfer from flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in gp91(phox) to oxygen, leading to inefficient hydrogen peroxide formation instead of efficient superoxide production.
conclusionsX-linked CGD patients with mutations that alter the gp91(phox) protein in regions involved in docking of the cytosolic NADPH oxidase component p47(phox) may have higher than expected hydrogen peroxide generation capability.
