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

backgroundThis study aimed to describe overall survival (OS) of patients with APDS relative to the global population as well as among subsets of patients with concurrent lymphoma or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) relative to the overall APDS population.

methodsPatient-level data were extracted from a recent systematic literature review of 351 unique patients with APDS. OS was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method up to age 65 years. OS rate and corresponding 95% CI were reported at each decade of age. Global mortality estimates were obtained from World Health Organization life tables for 2019.

resultsOf the 351 patients with APDS (APDS1, 267 [76.1%]; APDS2, 83 [23.6%]; unspecified, 1 [0.3%]), 41 (11.7%) died. The OS rate was 25.0% (95% CI, 1.6-62.7%) by the last death event at 64 years of age. Starting at 12 years of age, the OS rate was numerically lower in patients with APDS relative to the global population (median OS, 64 vs. 75 years, respectively). Relative to the overall APDS population, OS rates were numerically similar in those who underwent HSCT (median OS, 64 years for both; p = 0.569), whereas OS rates were numerically lower in patients with concurrent lymphoma (median OS, 41 vs. 64 years, respectively; p = 0.109). Publication bias in source data was a possible limitation.

conclusionReduced survival in patients with APDS suggests a high disease burden, particularly in those with concurrent lymphoma. These results highlight the unmet need for disease-modifying treatments for APDS.
