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

backgroundA20, a protein encoded by the tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 gene (TNFAIP3), plays a vital role in the negative regulation of inflammation and immunity. Loss-of-function mutation in TNFAIP3 leads to a new described autoinflammatory disease-haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20). Since HA20 was first described in 2016, a number of new cases have been described in this literature, however, the disease and its pathogenesis are poorly understood. This review seeks to improve clinical recognition of this disorder, and promote both earlier diagnosis and initiation of targeted therapies to improve patients' outcomes.

methodsWe reviewed 26 papers about A20 and HA20, and we summarized genetic variants and clinical manifestations of a total of 61 reported patients from 26 families identified to have a genetic diagnosis of germline pathogenic variants in TNFAIP3/A20. Additionally, we discussed the pathogenesis and treatment of HA20.

resultsA total of 24 pathogenic variants of A20 had been reported. There was significant clinical heterogeneity, even among those with the same variants in TNFAIP3. Prior to receiving a molecular diagnosis of HA20, patients had been diagnosed with Behcet's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and even adult-onset Stills' disease. The patients with HA20 that presented with inflammatory signatures in NF-κB signaling were mostly responsive to treatment.

conclusionsHA20 is a monogenic autoinflammatory disease with highly variable clinical manifestations. This extensive heterogeneity makes it difficult to set a clinical diagnostic criteria, and genetic sequencing is necessary for a definitive diagnosis of HA20.
