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

backgroundThe current literature describes the characteristics of some skin manifestations in the context of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs), also known as inborn errors of the immune system. However, there are hardly any data on the epidemiological trends of skin manifestations and PIDs in Latin America (LA). We aimed to describe the characteristics of patients with skin manifestations and the diagnosis of a PID treated at a tertiary hospital in Colombia.

methodsThis was a retrospective observational study. Data were taken from the institutional database of pediatric PIDs, which includes 306 patients under 18 years of age who attended a tertiary care center in Cali, Colombia for inpatient or outpatient services between December 2013 and December 2018. A trained third-year dermatology resident reviewed the electronic clinical records of all the patients in the database and double-checked patients who presented with cutaneous signs and symptoms.

resultsA total of 83 patients out of the original 306 patients (27.1%) presented with some type of cutaneous manifestation. Of these patients, 56.6% had atopic dermatitis, 56.6% reported at least one episode of skin infection, and some of the patients had both of these manifestations. Infections were more frequent in the PID group of combined immunodeficiency associated with well-defined syndromes and atopic dermatitis in the group of antibody deficiencies.

conclusionsIt is important to recognize dermatological clinical characteristics in patients with PIDs. More studies are necessary to establish recommendations regarding the approach of diagnosis and management of these patients.
