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

Hyper IgE syndrome (HIES) is a medical condition that can be sporadic or hereditary. It consists of multiple overlapping primary immunodeficiency conditions and is characterized by a classical triad of high immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, recurrent pneumonia with pneumatocele and recurrent cold skin abscesses from staphylococcus infections. Eosinophilia is also common in HIES patients. HIES is often underdiagnosed in Syria as it cannot be confirmed without genetic testing, which is unavailable across Syria for HIES. We present the first case from Syria of a suspected child with HIES that has some additional distinct features. Other cases in a regional country carried atypical novel mutations, which may indicate that these mutations may exist in Syria as well. However, our case had findings that were not reported with other HIES cases. Determining these genes in the case presented was not possible, and future studies need to overcome this hurdle.
