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

Cytotoxic (CD8) T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells have a significant immune function role. The ongoing stimulation of immunity and the excessive release of proinflammatory cytokines observed in pediatric patients with Gaucher disease (GD) can affect immune cells. Few studies have looked at the proportion of cytotoxic CD8 T-cells and their subsets in children with GD. A prospective case-control study was performed involving twenty pediatric patients with type 1 GD and twenty healthy age-matched controls. All patients received regular enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for at least 6 months before the study. Complete blood count and flow cytometric analyses of CD8 T, Tc1, Tc2, NK, and NK T-cells were performed. GD patients showed significantly increased of CD8 T, Tc1 and significantly decreased NK cells frequencies when compared to healthy controls. However, no significant difference in Tc2 and NK T-cells was found between the studied groups. GD patients on regular ERT have increased CD8+ T-cell frequencies, predominantly Tc1, together with a reduction in NK cells than in healthy controls. These crucial immunological changes may contribute to some extent to the pathogenesis and the progression of GD.
