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

objectivesThe present phenotype-based disease classification causes ambiguity in diagnosing and determining timely, effective treatment options for primary immunodeficiency (PID). In this study, we aimed to examine the characteristics of early-onset PID and proposed a JAK-STATopathy subgroup based on their molecular defects.

methodsWe reviewed 72 patients (< 100 days) retrospectively. These patients exhibited various immune-related phenotypes and received a definitive molecular diagnosis by next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based tests. We evaluated the PID-causing genes and clinical parameters. We assessed the genes that shared the JAK-STAT signalling pathway. We also examined the potential high risks related to the 180-day death rate.

resultsWe identified PID disorders in 25 patients (34.72%, 25/72). The 180-day mortality was 26.39% (19/72). Early onset of disease (cut-off value of 3.5 days of age) was associated with a high 180-day death rate (

conclusionsThis study confirmed that NGS can be utilised as an aetiological diagnostic method of complex immune-related conditions in early life. Through the classification of PID as pathway-based subtypes, we see an opportunity to dissect the heterogeneity and to direct targeted therapies.
