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

An unusual combination of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and Turner's syndrome in a Saudi woman aged 20 years is presented. In addition to panhypogammaglobulinaemia, the patient had CD4+ T lymphocytopenia; however, there was evidence of in vivo activation of T cells and overproduction of soluble interleukin 2 receptor in culture supernate. Mantoux test was positive, but lymphoblastic response to non-specific mitogen was impaired. Immunogenetically the patient was HLA-DR3 positive and karyotypically she was a mosaic (45XO/46XX) with ring X chromosome (46Xr(X)). The presence of severe kyphoscoliosis was possibly related to ring X chromosome. This case highlights the grave consequences of the delayed diagnosis of immunodeficiency and emphasises the heterogeneous nature of CVID.
