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

rationaleWe describe a novel case of half-brothers suffering from type 2 familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 15-year-old Chinese child was admitted to the hematology department. PRF1 gene coding revealed that he was c.282C>A/p.N94K heterozygous and had a c.1349C>T/p.T450M heterozygous mutation. One year later, his younger halfbrother suffered from the same disease. PRF1 gene coding revealed that the younger brother was c.282C>A/p.T450M heterozygous with a c.1349C>T/p.T450M heterozygous mutation. His mother and grandfather were confirmed to have c.1349C>T/p.T450M heterozygous mutations in exon 3. DIAGNOSES: Half-brothers were diagnosed for type 2 familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

interventions: To our knowledge, this is a possible FHL and the children's mother may be a pathogenic gene carrier. OUTCOMES: After being treated with the HLH-04 schedule, the symptoms of half-brothers were all improved. LESSONS SUBSECTIONS: Therefore, once FHL is diagnosed, HSCT needs to be done early, even if no perfect match is found.
