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

backgroundThere are minimal data on the frequencies of monocyte subsets and dendritic cells (DCs) in children with Gaucher disease (GD), as nearly all previous studies have involved adult patients. Consequently, we aimed to describe the changes in these cell subpopulations in children with GD type 1 who were on regular enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).

methodsThis case-control study included 25 children with GD1 and 20 healthy controls. All participants underwent investigations such as complete blood count and flow cytometric assessment of DC and monocyte frequencies and phenotype.

resultsWe found that GD1 children had significantly reduced percentages of both types of DCs, i.e., plasmacytoid DCs and myeloid DCs, compared to the control group. There was also a significant reduction in absolute monocyte numbers and percentage of classical monocyte. Moreover, the GD1 children had higher frequencies of non-classical and intermediate monocytes than the control group.

conclusionsOur results so far indicate that, when compared to the control group, the GD1 children had significantly reduced total and classical monocyte, with significantly decreased frequencies for both types of DCs. These changes can contribute to immunological abnormalities in pediatric patients with GD1. IMPACT: Children with Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) have significantly reduced total and classical monocyte frequencies, with decreasing percentages for both types of dendritic cells. GD1 children had significantly reduced frequencies of myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells as compared to the controls. The GD1 children also had significant changes in monocyte subsets when compared to the controls. Our results show that monocytes and dendritic cells' significant changes could contribute to immunological abnormalities in pediatric patients with GD1.
