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

introductionImmunodeficiency with hyper-IgM (HIGM) results from genetic defects in the CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) pathway or in the enzymes required for immunoglobulin class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation. HIGM can thus be associated with an impairment of both B-cell and T-cell activation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: There are seven main subtypes of HIGM and the most frequent is X-linked HIGM, resulting from CD40L mutations. In addition to the susceptibility to recurrent and opportunistic infections, these patients are prone to autoimmune manifestations, especially hematologic abnormalities, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Furthermore, organ-specific autoantibodies are commonly found in HIGM patients.

conclusionsThe mechanisms by which HIGM associates to autoimmunity are not completely elucidated but a defective development of regulatory T cells, the presence of IgM autoantibodies and an impaired peripheral B-cell tolerance checkpoint have been implicated. This article reviews the main subtypes of HIGM syndrome, the clinical autoimmune manifestations found in these patients, and the possible mechanisms that would explain this association.
