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

purposeAbout 25% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency disease (CVID) have splenomegaly, necessitating sometimes splenectomy whom consequences on the immunological profile of CVID patients have never been studied. We analyzed 11 CVID patients' comprehensive blood immune cell phenotypes pre- and post-splenectomy.

methodsFlow cytometry analyses of immune cell populations.

resultsAmong 89 CVID cohort patients, 41 with splenomegaly, splenomegaly was strongly associated with granulomatous disease, autoimmune disorders, lymphoid hyperplasia, and/or portal hypertension. CVID patients with splenomegaly have significant peripheral lymphopenia (p = 0.001), and significantly fewer peripheral class-switched memory B cells (smBs) (p = 0.001), CD4

conclusionSplenectomizing CVID patients with splenomegaly restores the absolute circulating lymphocyte count, suggesting that the decreased T cell count in the presence of splenomegaly cannot be used as an exclusive criterion for combined immunodeficiency.
