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

objectiveImmune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is an autoimmune disease caused by mutations in the forkhead box protein 3 gene (FOXP3), which encodes a key regulator of immune tolerance. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical heterogeneity of the disease in a national French cohort.

methodsMulticenter retrospective study of patients diagnosed with IPEX syndrome caused by mutations in FOXP3.

resultsThirty children from 26 families were included. Age at disease onset (median [first to third quartile]) was 1.5 mo [0-84] and at death 3.5 years [0-10.5] (n = 15) indicating a high heterogeneity. Initial presentation was diarrhoea (68%), type 1 diabetes (T1D; 25%), skin lesions (7%) and nephropathy (3%). During the course of the disease the following main symptoms were observed: diarrhoea (100%), skin lesions (85%), T1DM (50%), severe food allergies (39%), haematological disorders (28%), nephropathies (25%), hepatitis (14%) as well as the presence of a variety of autoantibodies. Immunosuppressive mono- or combination therapy led to improvement in eight children. Three boys displayed a stable disease course without any immunosuppressive medication. Overall 10-year survival rate was 43% (42% in transplanted patients and 52% in patients on immunosuppressive therapy). Five out of 22 identified FOXP3 mutations have not been described yet: c.-23 + 1G > A, c.-23 + 5G > A, c.264delC, c.1015C > T and c.1091A > G. The first two produced atypical, attenuated phenotypes. Missense and frameshift mutations affecting the forkhead domain were associated with poor survival (Gehan-Wilcoxon p = 0.002).

conclusionThe broad phenotypic heterogeneity of IPEX raises questions about modifying factors and justifies early FOXP3 sequencing in suspected cases.
