A novel common gamma chain mutation in a Chinese family with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID; T(-)NK(-)B(+)).
Article in Immunogenetics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) is one of the most common causes of primary immunodeficiencies in humans. A 4-month-old boy with recurrent pulmonary infection had decreased numbers of CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+) T lymphocytes, and NK cells and increased levels of CD19(+) B cells but no memory B cells or plasma cells. The production of cytokines by T cells and the activation of T and B cells were either absent or inefficient. While B cell levels were high, they were all IgM-positive, and the secretion of all Ig isotypes by activated B cells in vitro was defective. Genomic DNA sequencing revealed that the patient had missense mutations in the IL2RG (exon 5, 718 T > C) and IL7R genes (exon 2, 197 T > C; exon 4, 412G > A). Although the patient's father and one of his sisters have the same missense homozygous mutations of the IL7R gene, neither of them exhibited the immunological phenotype of SCID. The results indicate that the IL2RG gene mutation or a combination of the IL7R and IL2RG mutations in the sick boy had resulted in T(-)NK(-)B(+) SCID.
