Dramatic Improvement in the Multifocal Positron Emission Tomography Findings of a Young Adult with Chronic Granulomatous Disease Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by defects of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase. Catalase-positive bacteria and fungi are phagocytosed, but persist within phagocytes, resulting in granulomatous inflammation. Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for CGD, HSCT sometimes leads to fatal outcomes related to the exacerbation of persistent infectious or post-infectious inflammatory diseases, particularly in adolescent and young adult patients with a history of recurrent infections and/or multiple granulomas in organs. Here, we present the case of a young adult with X-linked CGD in whom multiple lesions were found in lungs and lymph nodes on both computed tomography and positron emission tomography (PET) scans before allogeneic HSCT, but all the lesions disappeared only on PET scan 5 months after HSCT. Monitoring the activity of multiple pre-existing lesions with PET scan may be beneficial to adolescent and young adult CGD-patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT.
