A girl with a novel nonsense mutation in Chediak-Higashi syndrome was relieved successfully by treatment with HCST and UCBT: a case report.

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
Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a life-threatening autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disease presenting with recurrent infections, hypopigmentation, progressive neurodegeneration, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), known as the accelerated stage. Two-thirds of patients experience a fatal accelerated phase. CHS is caused by lysosomal transport regulator (LYST) gene mutations. We report the case of CHS, who was born with pale skin and silver hair. Bone marrow aspirate revealed large inclusions in granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes. Genetic analysis revealed a new nonsense mutation in the LYST gene: c.8186G > A (W2729Ter). The child presented with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphadenectasis. Laboratory tests showed pancytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and high serum ferritin, indicating an accelerated phase of CHS. She underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCST) combined with umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) after HLH-related chemotherapy. The patient has been alive for nine months without recurrence. We have identified a novel nonsense mutation in the LYST gene that correlates with a severe phenotype, and HSCT combined with UCBT is an effective treatment.
