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

Hypereosinophilia is a rare presentation in all age groups, particularly when it is severe, persistent, and progressive. We describe the clinical characteristics and course of severe hypereosinophilia in a full-term Saudi female neonate. A febrile respiratory illness evolved with a progressive increase in peripheral blood leukocyte and eosinophil counts, reaching 44.9% of leukocytes and an absolute value of 57,000 cells/µl. Different etiological examinations (for viral, bacterial, immunodeficiency, hyper IgE syndrome, gene mutations) revealed extremely high CMV antigenemia and a homozygous mutation in the STAT1 gene. Anhelation was relieved by oxygen and anti-viral treatment. Steroids brought a dramatic response in peripheral blood counts within 24 h. After a 6-week course of antiviral and steroid treatment at home, she had an excellent general condition. Conclusion: Although a rare pathology, it is important to consider genetic disorders when there is an atypical immune response to viral infections.
