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

Recently, a novel syndrome of combined immune deficiency, infections, allergy, and inflammation has been attributed to mutations in the gene encoding actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B (ARPC1B), which is a key molecule driving the dynamics of the cytoskeleton. Homozygous mutations in the ARPC1B gene have been found to result in the disruption of the protein structure and cause an autosomal recessive syndrome of combined immune deficiency, impaired T-cell migration and proliferation, increased levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin A (IgA), and thrombocytopenia. To date, only a few individuals have been diagnosed with the ARPC1B deficiency syndrome worldwide. In this case series, we report the wide spectrum of phenotype in 3 siblings of a consanguineous family from Afghanistan with a novel homozygous synonymous pathogenic variant c.783G>A, p. (Ala261Ala) of the ARPC1B gene that causes a similar syndrome but no thrombocytopenia. Targeted RNA studies demonstrated that the variant affects the splicing process of mRNA, resulting in a marked reduction of the levels of primary (normal) RNA transcript of the ARPC1B gene in the affected patients and likely premature termination from the abnormally spliced mRNA. The next generation sequencing (NGS) studies facilitated the diagnosis of this rare combined immunodeficiency and led to the decision to treat the affected patients with hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) from an human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched healthy sibling.
