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
purposeWiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked immunodeficiency characterized by eczema, microthrombocytopenia, and recurrent infections. This study evaluates the frequency of clinical manifestations and overall outcomes in WAS patients, comparing those who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with those who did not.
methodsThirty-eight boys with a definite diagnosis of WAS were retrospectively evaluated in the Immunology, Asthma, and Allergy Research Institute registry in Tehran from 2006 to 2023.
resultsThe median ages at symptom onset, diagnosis, and delay to diagnosis were 3.5, 7.5, and 4.5 months, respectively. The clinical presentations include allergies in 38 (100%), infection in 37 (97.4%), hemorrhage in 36 (94.7%), autoimmunity in 14 (36.8%), and malignancies or myelodysplasia syndrome in 3 (7.9%) patients. Although microthrombocytopenia is a hallmark of WAS, 34.4% of our cases had normal platelet size. The WAS gene analysis in 36 of 38 patients identified six novel mutations. Sixteen patients underwent HSCT. Disease-free survival was reported in 10 (62.5%) of them, whereas 6 (37.5%) of them were deceased. The mortality rate in non-transplant patients was 15/22 (68.2%).
conclusionMost WAS patients experienced atopy, recurrent infections, and bleeding. Moreover, autoimmunity and malignancies have increased relative to the general population. Moreover, the mortality rate is high, especially among those who did not receive HSCT. Keeping in mind that thrombocytopenia alongside eczema and/or infection in a male infant can be the presentation of this fatal disease. Early diagnosis and treatment could be lifesaving and prevent severe morbidities.
