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

objectiveTo describe clinical and flow cytometric immunophenotyping details of 26 patients of Leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I (LAD-I) along with molecular characterization of 7 patients.

methodsDiagnosis of LAD-I was suspected on the basis of clinical features, white blood cell count and absolute neutrophil counts and flow cytometric assessment of expression of CD18 and CD11(a, b, c) on leukocytes. Mutation analysis was performed using DNA PCR and conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) technique followed by sequencing.

resultsAll the patients were symptomatic by the age of 6 mo, with history of recurrent bacterial infections involving skin, mucosa or umbilical cord (omphalitis) being the most frequent presenting symptoms. White blood cells (WBC) and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) were markedly elevated, without any specific morphological findings. On flow cytometry, CD11a and CD11c showed moderate correlation with CD18 expression. Mutation analysis was performed in 7 patients and six different mutations (4 missense, 2 nonsense and 1 splice site) were identified, all of which were homozygous in nature.

conclusionsA presentation of repeated bacterial infections during infancy, especially omphalitis, with markedly elevated absolute neutrophil counts should trigger investigations for LAD-I including flow cytometric analysis of CD11/CD18 expression.
