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

Using whole-exome sequencing to examine the genetic causes of immune deficiency in 235 common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients seen in the United States (Mount Sinai, New York), 128 patients from Sweden, and 208 from Iran revealed 68 known disease-causing genes underlying this heterogeneous immune defect. The patients at the time of study ranged from 4 to 90 years of age. Overall, 31%, 36%, and 54% of the patients in the US, Swedish, or Iranian cohorts had mutations. The multiplicity of genes identified in the 571 subjects reflects the complex requirements of B-cell antigen signaling, activation, survival, migration, maturation, and maintenance of antibody-secreting memory B-cell populations to the plasma cell stage. For the US and Swedish cohorts, CVID subjects with noninfectious complications, lymphoid infiltrations, inflamatory conditions, or autoimmunity were somewhat more likely to have an identifiable gene, but in both cohorts, numerous subjects with these medical conditions had no potential gene that could be assigned. Specific clinical patterns of illnesses were also not linked to any given gene defect as there was considerable overlap in clinical presentations. These observations led to a new perspective on the complexity of the immunologic phenotype found in CVID syndrome.
