A Clinical Diagnosis of Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome in an Ethiopian Boy with Recurrent Sinopulmonary Infections: A Case Report.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundWiskott Aldrich syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency notable for eczema, recurrent infections, bleeding diathesis and microcytic thrombocytopenia. CASE: A 4½ year old boy presented with recurrent sinopulmonary infections, repeated treatment for severe eczema since infancy, thrombocytopenia with low platelet volume. His brother and uncles died during childhood due to repeated illnesses. We outline ways to diagnose and manage children in resource limited settings.
conclusionWiskott Aldrich syndrome can be diagnosed by its clinical triad of syndromes. Mutation of the WASP gene confirms diagnosis. Increasing reports of primary immune deficiencies in Ethiopia call for improved education and care for clinical immunology.
