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

unlabelledWe report a patient with immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome with a novel splicing mutation of the FOXP3 gene. The patient is a boy, born at 39 + 2 weeks gestation with a birth weight of 3,280 g. The family history was unremarkable. He was well until 11 months of age, when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The level of urine C-peptide was 0.58 μg/day (normal range, 44-116 μg/day). Glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody was not detected, but a high level of anti-insulin antibody (50 IU/mL; normal range, <5 IU/mL) was noted. This patient presented with unusual clinical features, including pure red cell aplasia, membranous glomerulopathy, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome after a vaccination against influenza A H1N1 virus. The diagnosis of IPEX was made when the patient was 11 years old, which is quite late compared with typical cases.

conclusionAlthough IPEX syndrome is usually a disease of infancy, it should not be ruled out solely on the basis of age. IPEX presentation is so variable that it should be suspected in a male child with one or more autoimmune disorders and severe infections.
