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

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) haploinsufficiency is the defect of one of the checkpoint inhibitory molecules and defined as a primary immunodeficiency characterized by immune dysregulation. A 26-year-old female with a history of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, and hypogammaglobulinemia was admitted with an inability to walk, urinary hesitancy, and bowel incontinence. Neurological examination revealed mild weakness, pyramidal, and deep sensorial involvement of the left lower extremity. Brain MRI revealed periventricular, juxtacortical, and cerebellar inflammatory lesions. Thoracic spinal MRI showed a longitudinaly extensive cord lesion. Additionally, thoracal CT showed parenchymal opacities and bilateral hilar lymph nodes. The biopsy from mediastinal lymph nodes and lung parenchyma demonstrated a low-grade lymphoproliferation and grade 1 "Lymphomatoid granulomatosis". Detailed laboratory analyses indicated the diagnosis of ''common variable immunodeficiency''. Next-generation sequencing with primary immunodeficiency panel revealed a heterozygous mutation in CTLA-4 (c.436G>A(p.G146R)(p.Gly146Arg)). After molecular diagnosis, abatacept therapy was started as a targeted therapeutic approach with subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapy.
