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

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22qDS) is often complicated by autoimmune diseases. To clarify the causal relationship, we examined the lymphocyte subset distribution and the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) in two female patients (one child and an elderly) with Graves' disease (GD) and 22qDS. Thymus dysgenesis might have contributed to the T-cell imbalance and the lack of negative selection in both cases. Notably, HLA-DR14, a known risk factor for GD in Japanese individuals and the decreased regulatory T-cell numbers that were seen in the pediatric case, may affect the early onset of GD. Central and peripheral tolerance and Th1 cells appeared to be associated with the pathogenesis of GD in 22qDS.
