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

Aberrations of the STK4 gene in humans result in an autosomal recessively inherited primary immunodeficiency. We identified three patients with STK4 deficiency who had presented to our hospital and reviewed their biopsy samples with the goal of detailing the characteristics of STK4 deficiency from a pathology perspective. Case 1 was a 20-year-old male who presented with cervical and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy which showed plasmacytic hyperplasia and a concurrent bronchial mass, with AA amyloidosis and EBV-associated "polymorphic lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) resembling polymorphic post-transplant LPD." The second case was an 8-year-old girl with abdominal lymphadenopathy; biopsy revealed a complex lymphoproliferation which consisted of EBV-associated "polymorphic LPD resembling polymorphic post-transplant LPD," plasmacytic hyperplasia, granulomatous reaction, and a CD4- and PD-1-positive clonal T cell proliferation. The third was a 15-year-old girl with a laryngeal mass, representing a high-grade B cell lymphoma with prominent plasmacytic differentiation. Our cases emphasize the complex and challenging histopathology of lymphoid proliferations in patients with STK4 deficiency.
