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

introductionInborn errors of immunity include a broad spectrum of genetic diseases, in which a specific gene mutation might alter the entire emphasis and approach for an individual patient.

objectiveTo conduct a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between phenotypic and molecular diagnoses in patients with confirmed inborn errors of immunity at a tertiary hospital in Cali, Colombia. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study in which we sequentially evaluated all available institutional medical records with a diagnosis of inborn errors of immunity.

resultsIn the Clinical Immunology Service of the Hospital Universitario del Valle, 517 patients were evaluated. According to the IUIS-2022 classification, 92 patients (17.35%) were definitively diagnosed with an inborn error of immunity. Of these, 38 patients underwent genetic studies. The most prevalent category was predominantly antibody deficiencies (group III) (38/92 - 41.3%). A broad spectrum of genetic defects, novel and previously reported, were described, including mutations in the following genes: ATM, BTK, ERBIN, MAB21L2, RAG2, SAVI, SH2D1A, STAT1, SYK, and TMEM173. Less frequent findings included cases of the WHIM syndrome, SYK gain-of-function, and IL-7 deficiency.

conclusionsThe establishment of the Clinical Immunology Service in the Hospital Universitario del Valle has emerged as a pivotal resource, catering to individuals with limited financial means and covered by public health insurance within the southwest region of Colombia. Molecular genetics confirmatory diagnosis was achieved in 38 patients (41.3%) with inborn errors of immunity and changed the diagnosis in 24 cases (26%).
