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

IKBKB immune deficiency is a rare but life-threatening primary immunodeficiency disorder, involving activation defects in adaptive and innate immunity. We present sixteen cases of a homozygous IKBKB mutation (c.1292dupG) in infants characterized by early-onset bacterial, viral, fungal and Mycobacterial infections. In most cases, T- and B-cells were quantitatively normal, but phenotypically naïve, with severe hypogammaglobulinemia. T-cell receptor excision circles were normal, meaning newborn screening by TREC analysis would miss IKBKB cases. Although IKBKB immune deficiency does not meet traditional laboratory based definitions for SCID, this combined immune deficiency appears to be at least as profound. Urgent HSCT, performed in eight patients, remains the only known curative therapy, although only three patients are survivors. Ongoing infections after transplant remain a concern, and may be due to combinations of poor social determinants of health, secondary graft failure, and failure of HSCT to replace non-hematopoietic cells important in immune function and dependent upon IKK/NF-κB pathways.
