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

backgroundChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease that is characterized by susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections. Various mutations in CYBB encoding the gp91(phox) subunit of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase impair the respiratory burst of all types of phagocytic cells and result in X-linked CGD (X-CGD). PURPOSE: We here sought to evaluate the underlying cause in an attenuated phenotype in an X-CGD patient. The patient is a 31-year-old male who had been diagnosed as having X-CGD based on the absence of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and the presence of a CYBB mutation at the age of 1 year. He has been in good health after overcoming recurrent bacterial infections in infancy.

methodsWe investigated genomic DNA analysis of CYBB gene, residual activity of NADPH oxidase, and expression of gp91(phox) in both polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes/macrophages in the present patient.

resultsAlthough his underlying germline mutation, c.1016C>A (p.P339H) in the CYBB gene, was identified in both PMNs and monocytes, the expression and functional activity of gp91(phox) retained in monocytes/macrophages, in stark contrast to markedly reduced PMNs.

conclusionsOur results indicate that residual reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) production in PMNs plays an important role in infantile stage in X-CGD, but thereafter retained function of monocytes/macrophages might compensate for the function of NADPH oxidase deficient PMNs and might be an important parameter for predicting the prognosis of X-CGD patients.
