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

backgroundSomatic mosaicism is to date an uncommon finding in genetic autoinflammatory syndromes such as Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, Blau syndrome, and TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS). However, somatic mosaicism may be particularly important in adult-onset or atypical phenotypes of these conditions. Herein, we report a unique adult-onset TRAPS patient presenting with intermittent daily fever for 3 weeks, rash, peritonitis, and lymphadenopathy, who was found with hematopoietic mosaicism involving different white blood cell populations.

methodsPatient's lymphocyte genomic DNA was initially analyzed by periodic fever seven-gene next-generation sequencing panel. Genomic DNAs extracted from patient's hair roots, buccal swab, and subpopulations of white blood cells were subsequently examined on the identified TNFRSF1A variant using Sanger sequencing.

resultsA de novo mosaic missense variant, c.265 T>C(p.Phe89Leu), in the TNFRSF1A gene was found in the patient's buccal swab, B cells, neutrophils, and NK cells but not detected in monocytes, T cells, and hair roots.

conclusionThese data provide additional information about somatic mosaicism in autoinflammatory conditions and provide new insights regarding cellular players that are indispensable for the phenotypic expression of TRAPS.
