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

backgroundIL-17-mediated signaling is crucial in defense against fungi and bacteria. Defective Th17 immunity has been implicated in a group of disorders called chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). TRAF3IP2 is an adaptor protein involved in downstream signaling for IL-17 receptors. CASE: An 18-year-old boy, product of consanguineous wedlock, presented with history of repeated episodes of oral thrush and recurrent pneumonia from first year of life. On examination, he was wasted and had oral thrush and abnormal dentition; grade 2 clubbing and respiratory system examination revealed coarse crepitations. On evaluation, HIV status was negative and basic immunological screen was unrewarding. Genetic testing by next-generation sequencing showed a novel homozygous mutation in TRAF3IP2 gene not reported to date. The defect is likely to cause ACT1 deficiency. He was started on antibiotic and antifungal prophylaxis and remains well on follow-up.

conclusionWe describe an adolescent boy with recurrent oral candidiasis and bronchiectasis due to a novel mutation in TRAF3IP2 gene, not reported to date. This is also the only second report of CMC due to ACT1 deficiency.
