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

purpose of reviewImmune dysfunction, including severe combined immunodeficiency, has been described in genetic disorders affecting the metabolism of the vitamins cobalamin (vitamin B12) and folate. We have reviewed reports of clinical findings in patients with a number of inborn errors of cobalamin or folate metabolism, specifically looking for immune problems. RECENT

findingsThere is little evidence that immune function is affected in most of the disorders. Exceptions are Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome and hereditary folate malabsorption (affecting intestinal absorption of cobalamin and folate, respectively), transcobalamin deficiency (affecting transport of cobalamin in blood and cellular cobalamin uptake), and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 deficiency (catalyzing cytoplasmic interconversion of reduced folate coenzyme derivatives). SUMMARY: Although some inborn errors of cobalamin or folate can be associated with immune dysfunction, the degree and type of immune dysfunction vary with no obvious pattern.
