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

objectiveTo determine the association between a history of asthma and a diagnosis of selective IgA deficiency (sIgAD)/common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). PATIENTS AND

methodsThis population-based case-control study included residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, who met the Pan-American Group for Immunodeficiency/European Society for Immunodeficiencies diagnostic criteria for sIgAD/CVID between January 1, 1964, through December 31, 2008. Each case had 4 age- and sex-matched controls (2 from the community and 2 from a list of individuals who had undergone an immune work-up). We ascertained asthma status by applying predetermined criteria for asthma.

resultsWe identified 39 cases: 26 (66.7%) had sIgAD and 13 (33.3%) had CVID. Of the 39 cases, 51.3% were men (n=20) and 97.1% were white (33 of 34 patients). The mean age at the index date (the time when criteria were met) of sIgAD/CVID was 34.2 years. Of the 39 cases, 9 (23.1%) had a history of asthma before the index date of sIgAD/CVID; of the 156 controls, 16 (10.3%) had a history of asthma before the index date (odds ratio, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.09-7.06; P=.03). A history of asthma (before or after the index date of sIgAD/CVID) was more prevalent in sIgAD/CVID cases (30.8%; n=12) than in matched controls (11.5%; n=18) (odds ratio, 3.57; 95% CI, 1.50-8.51; P=.01).

conclusionAsthmatic patients are more likely to have a diagnosis of sIgAD/CVID than nonasthmatic individuals. This association may potentially account for the increased risks of bacterial infections in some individuals with asthma.
