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

purposeAutosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (AD-HIES) is included among primary immunodeficiencies, and results from heterozygous mutations in the signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene. AD-HIES leads to impaired Th17 cell differentiation and IL-17 production, and is associated with increased susceptibility to bacteria and fungi. It was reported that several patients with AD-HIES were treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The efficacy of HSCT in treating AD-HIES is variable. This study aims to evaluate the long-term clinical and immunological efficacy of HSCT for AD-HIES.

methodsWe have followed for more than 8 years two patients with AD-HIES who were treated with HSCT. Their ability of IL-17 production was evaluated by flow cytometry.

resultsBoth patients indicated the normal ability of IL-17 production and their serum IgE levels decreased after HSCT. On the other hand, they suffered from pulmonary complications of AD-HIES such as pneumatoceles and bronchiectasis even after HSCT; however, the frequency of infections was decreased.

conclusionsAlthough the dysfunction of STAT3 in non-hematological tissues such as the lungs could not be corrected by HSCT, AD-HIES patients with risk factors for pulmonary complications may benefit from immunological correction by HSCT before severe pulmonary complications occur. Future studies should investigate risk factors for pulmonary complications in AD-HIES patients.
