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

backgroundAtaxia-telangiectasia (AT) is a rare genetic condition, caused by biallelic deleterious variants in the ATM gene, and has variable immunological abnormalities. This study aimed to examine immunologic parameters reflecting cell development, activation, proliferation, and class switch recombination (CSR) and determine their relationship to the clinical phenotype in AT patients.

methodsIn this study, 40 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of AT from the Iranian immunodeficiency registry center and 28 age-sex matched healthy controls were enrolled. We compared peripheral B and T cell subsets and T cell proliferation response to CD3/CD28 stimulation in AT patients with and without CSR defects using flow cytometry.

resultsA significant decrease in naïve, transitional, switched memory, and IgM only memory B cells, along with a sharp increase in the marginal zone-like and CD21

conclusionThe present study revealed that patients with AT have a broad spectrum of cellular and humoral deficiencies. Therefore, a detailed evaluation of T and B cell subsets increases understanding of the disease in patients and the risk of infection.
