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

Papillon-Lefëvre syndrome (PLS), classified as ectodermal dysplasia, is an autosomal recessive condition related to the cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutation. The first clinical symptoms, occurring most commonly between the ages of 1 and 4, are palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and also periodontitis resulting in the loss of most or all teeth in the same sequence in which they erupted. Most often the redness of palms and soles precede the occurrence of keratoderma. Moreover, excessive sweating, moderate mental retardation, the tendency to purulent skin and internal organs infection may occur. Lack of cathepsin seems to have a crucial role in the intensity of symptoms. In most of the patients, there can be observed impairment of phagocytosis and chemotaxis of neutrophils, granulocytes, leukocytes and cytotoxic lesion of fibroblasts and macrophages. Also, functional impairment of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes is observed. The study, using flow cytometry, showed a decreased percentage of T cells CD8+ and increased CD4:CD8 ratio.
