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

aimsChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the phagocyte reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing NOX2 enzyme complex and characterized by recurrent infections associated with hyperinflammatory and autoimmune manifestations. A translational, comparative analysis of CGD patients and the corresponding ROS-deficient Ncf1(m1J) mutated mouse model was performed to reveal the molecular pathways operating in NOX2 complex deficient inflammation.

resultsA prominent type I interferon (IFN) response signature that was accompanied by elevated autoantibody levels was identified in both mice and humans lacking functional NOX2 complex. To further underline the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-related autoimmune process, we show that naïve Ncf1(m1J) mutated mice, similar to SLE patients, suffer from inflammatory kidney disease with IgG and C3 deposits in the glomeruli. Expression analysis of germ-free Ncf1(m1J) mutated mice reproduced the type I IFN signature, enabling us to conclude that the upregulated signaling pathway is of endogenous origin. INNOVATION: Our findings link the previously unexplained connection between ROS deficiency and increased susceptibility to autoimmunity by the discovery that activation of IFN signaling is a major pathway downstream of a deficient NOX2 complex in both mice and humans.

conclusionWe conclude that the lack of phagocyte-derived oxidative burst is associated with spontaneous autoimmunity and linked with type I IFN signature in both mice and humans.
