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

Primary immunodeficiency disorders, although rare, pose a significant burden in the quality of life of afflicted patients and their families. The most common of these disorders are caused by B-cell defects. A total of 6 patients were seen and diagnosed in a national tertiary hospital in the Philippines from 1996 to 2018. These patients were admitted due to various infections, and were subsequently diagnosed to have B-cell defects. Four out of the 6 patients have genetic studies confirming the diagnosis of X-linked agammaglobulinemia. One patient succumbed to sepsis at 10 years of age, while the rest are on follow-up at the Philippine General Hospital for intravenous immunoglobulin infusion.
