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

Agammaglobulinemia is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by profoundly low or absent serum antibodies and low or absent circulating B cells. The most common form is X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) caused by mutations in BTK gene. The remaining cases, clinically similar to XLA, are autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia (ARA). Nearly 30% of ARA cases present mutations in the μ heavy constant region gene IGHM. Here, we present a 7-month-old patient, born from non-consanguineous parents, who is affected by ARA due to defect in the μ heavy chain. The genetic study showed that the patient is compound heterozygous for an IGHM gene deletion and the novel nonsense mutation X57331.1:g.275C>A (p.Tyr43*) (ClinVar Accession Number: SCV000537868.1). This finding allows for an adequate genetic counseling to the family and also broadens the spectrum of already described point mutations at this locus. The IGHM gene is very complex and it is likely that yet unidentified mutations appear in other patients.
