HCV infection in a patient with hyper IgM syndrome.
Article in Journal of clinical immunology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The association between an acquired form of hyper-IgM syndrome and a chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a 71-year-old female patient is described. Both diseases were diagnosed at the age of 58 years. She was started on intramuscular and then intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy. HCV RNA was detected in 1992. The patient remained in well-balanced clinical condition until 1994, when total and specific anti-HCV IgM levels increased and the patient developed an IgM kappa monoclonal gammopathy. Adherent cells and B cells were HCV RNA positive, while T cells were HCV RNA negative. Anti-IgM reactivity was specifically directed to the core antigen of the HCV. The patient we describe showed a picture of a late-onset form of hypogammaglobulinemia with a progressive increase in IgM antibodies, possibly due to the concomitant HCV infection. It is possible that the immunodeficiency might also result from the HCV infection, with formation of specific antibodies belonging to the IgM class, and that the worsening of the clinical condition may be directly related to the persistent viral infection.
