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

objectiveSTAT 3 deficiency (autosomal dominant hyper immunoglobulin E syndrome (AD-HIES)) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder with multi-organ involvement caused by dominant negative signal transducer and activator of transcription gene 3 (STAT3) mutations. We sought to describe the gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations of this disease.

methodsSeventy subjects aged five to 60 years with a molecular diagnosis of AD-HIES were evaluated at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Data collection involved a GI symptom questionnaire and retrospective chart review.

resultsIn our cohort of 70 subjects, we found that 60% had GI symptoms (42/70). The most common manifestations were gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) observed in 41%, dysphagia in 31%, and abdominal pain in 24%. The most serious complications were food impaction in 13% and colonic perforation in 6%. Diffuse esophageal wall thickening in 74%, solid stool in the right colon in 50% (12/24), and hiatal hernia in 26% were the most prevalent radiologic findings. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) demonstrated esophageal tortuosity in 35% (8/23), esophageal ulceration in 17% (4/23), esophageal strictures requiring dilation in 9% (2/23), and gastric ulceration in 17% (4/23). Esophageal eosinophilic infiltration was an unexpected histologic finding seen in 65% (11/17).

conclusionThe majority of AD-HIES subjects develop GI manifestations as part of their disease. Most notable are the symptoms and radiologic findings of GI dysmotility, as well as significant eosinophilic infiltration, concerning for a secondary eosinophilic esophagitis. These findings suggest that the STAT3 pathway may be implicated in a new mechanism for the pathogenesis of several GI disorders.
