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

18q deletion syndrome (OMIM #601808) results from a deletion of a part of a long arm of 18 chromosome and is characterized by mental retardation and congenital malformations. We present an exceptional case of a 12-year-old girl with severe phenotype of 18q deletion syndrome, frequent infections, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroiditis, and vitiligo. At first, the patient was diagnosed with selective immunoglobulin A (sIgAD) which explained her susceptibility to both infections and autoimmunity. With time, sIgAD progressed to common variable immune deficiency-like (CVID-like) disorder. She had a minimum of 12 infections per year, approximately twice as many courses of different antibiotics and up to three hospitalizations annually, making the treatment of diabetes difficult. Due to safety issues (increased risk of adverse reaction to blood products) and patient's convenience, subcutaneous IgG (SCIG) replacement therapy was initiated. We noticed a substantial decrease in the number of infections and improvement of metabolic control of diabetes.
