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

Unusual susceptibility to mycobacterial infections can be caused by deleterious mutations in genes that encode the interferon-gamma receptor 1 chain. Such mutations hamper the activation of macrophages by a type 1 immune response and result in enhanced survival of intracellular pathogens. We here report two patients with unusual mycobacterial infections, both diagnosed with homozygous deleterious interferon-gamma receptor 1 gene mutations. Patient 1 became ill after Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination at the age of 9 months and died at the age of 18 months. She carried a homozygous C71Y mutation in the extracellular part of the mature interferon-gamma receptor 1 protein, resulting in the lack of detectable protein expression and absence of interferon-gamma dependent signaling. Patient 2 became ill at the age of 3 years, is still alive at 19 years of age, and has suffered from five successive infection episodes with atypical mycobacteria. A homozygous splice-site mutation in intron 3 was identified, resulting in the deletion of exon 3 at the mRNA level and consequently a truncated interferon-gamma receptor 1 protein with absence of the transmembrane domain. Protein expression and interferon-gamma dependent signaling were not detectable.
