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

Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive disease associated with a highly variable clinical presentation, such as vasculitis, inflammation, and hematologic manifestations. Some associations of clinical features can mimic autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS). We report a case of a female patient who fulfilled the 2009 National Institute of Health revised criteria for ALPS and received a delayed diagnosis of DADA2. During her childhood, she suffered from autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and chronic lymphoproliferation, which partially responded to multiple lines of treatments and were followed, at 25 years of age, by pulmonary embolism, septic shock, and bone marrow failure with myelodysplastic evolution. The patient died from the progression of pulmonary disease and multiorgan failure. Two previously unreported variants of gene ADA2/CECR1 were found through next-generation sequencing analysis, and a pathogenic role was demonstrated through a functional study. A single somatic STAT3 mutation was also found. Clinical phenotypes encompassing immune dysregulation and marrow failure should be evaluated at the early stage of diagnostic work-up with an extended molecular evaluation. A correct genetic diagnosis may lead to a precision medicine approach consisting of the use of targeted treatments or early hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
