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

Background: DiGeorge syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with variable phenotypic and immunologic features associated to an increased risk of malignancy. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare hyperinflammatory condition that can be triggered by infectious complications in immunodeficient patients like those with DGS. Case: We report the case of a 20-year-old female with intellectual and motor disabilities who was diagnosed with non-familial HLH at age of 12 months and underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to early disease reactivation. Despite resolution of HLH and post-transplant GVHD, the patient's psychomotor delay persisted, and dysmorphic features became more pronounced. A an array-CGH on her fibroblasts was performed and identified a partial Conclusion: This is the first report of a case of DGS with early onset HLH and late occurrence of a neoplasm of uncertain biological potential. Careful clinical monitoring is essential due to the variability in clinical manifestations and level of immune alteration.
