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

Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with progressive cerebellar neurodegeneration, variable degree of (combined) immunodeficiency, and increased risk of lymphoid malignancies. Especially patients with the hyper-IgM phenotype (HIGM-AT) are at risk for early-onset infections, cancer, and poor survival. AT can be a secondary finding in the T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) based newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency, resulting in an early AT diagnosis, which poses challenges with respect to clinical management. It is yet unclear whether the positive TREC screening result is indicative for increased risk of the HIGM-AT phenotype. Here, we review the available literature on newborn screening outcomes and neonatal TREC levels in patients with AT. In addition, we discuss the available symptomatic treatment options for AT, including preemptive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), gene therapy, nicotinamide riboside (vitamin B3), and corticosteroids
