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

A 40-year-old man with a previous AIDS-defining opportunistic infection and five negative HIV tests presented to our outpatient clinic. The laboratory test was relevant for less than 300 total lymphocytes on two separate occasions. He was diagnosed with idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia and was started on antibiotic prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and Micobacterium avium-intracellulare infection (MAI). This case report summarises the importance of further immunological characterisation in patients presenting with opportunistic infections and decreased cellular immunity.
