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

purposeTo study the changes in the immunological status in 2 children with cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH).

methodsA 4-6 year immunological follow-up from infancy.

resultsIn infancy the children presented a combined T cell and B cell immunodeficiency which partly resolved in time. Mitogen-induced T cell proliferation values fluctuated but lymphopenia has remained constant. Both patients had no recent thymic emigrants (TREC). Both children have suffered from a prolonged viral infection. Hypogammaglobulinemia normalized during the first years of life but both children have a specific antibody deficiency (SAD).

conclusionsThe changes in the immunological status in CHH patients emphasize the importance of a regular follow-up. SAD should be searched for in CHH. The absence of TRECs supports combined immunodeficiency and possible need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
