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

We report a 30-year-old male with a novel WAS mutation (c.252C > A, p.F84L) who was misdiagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) for years. Despite persistent thrombocytopenia, his mean platelet volume remained normal, an atypical feature of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). His course was complicated by stage-5 chronic kidney disease, renal anemia, IgA nephropathy, and recurrent infections. Laboratory tests consistently showed low lymphocyte counts and reduced WAS protein (WASp) levels. After confirming WAS, the original plan of kidney transplantation alone was changed to combined hematopoietic stem cell and kidney transplantation to restore immunity and reduce graft failure risk. This case highlights that WAS can present with normal platelet volume; thus, WAS should be considered in patients with unexplained chronic kidney disease, recurrent infections, and poor ITP therapy response, even without typical microthrombocytopenia.
