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

Primary immunodeficiencies are a group of heterogeneous disorders resulting from defects affecting the function of ≥1 parts of the immune system. Current estimates of the prevalence of primary immunodeficiency disease are one in 1200 patients. In Ontario, where the average general practitioner follows 1300 to 2000 patients, an estimated two patients will have primary immunodeficiency. With new primary immunodeficiencies being described at an exponential rate, and those previously described becoming better understood, it is challenging for health care providers to stay up to date. Knowledge gaps delay diagnosis and treatment, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The present review aims to provide the primary care provider with the tools necessary to recognize primary immunodeficiency and assist in establishing diagnoses.
