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

An association between movement disorders and immune-system dysfunction has been described in the context of rare genetic diseases such as ataxia telangiectasia as well as infectious encephalopathies. We encountered a male patient who presented immunodeficiency of unknown etiology since childhood. A medication-refractory, progressive choreodystonic movement disorder emerged at the age of 42 years and prompted an exome-wide molecular testing approach. This revealed a pathogenic hemizygous variant in CD40LG, the gene implicated in X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome. Only two prior reports have specifically suggested a causal relationship between CD40LG mutations and involuntary hyperkinetic movements. Our findings thus confirm the existence of a particular CD40LG-related condition, combining features of compromised immunity with neurodegenerative movement abnormalities. Establishing the diagnosis is crucial because of potential life-threatening immunological complications.
