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

backgroundThe pathogenesis of hereditary angioedema (HAE) type I and type II is linked to defective C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) encoded by the SERPING1 gene. There are substantial variabilities in the clinical presentations of patients with HAE that are not directly correlated to the serum levels of C1-INH. The impact of SERPING1 variants on C1-INH expression, structure, and function is incompletely understood.

objectiveTo investigate the influence of SERPING1 variants on the C1-INH expression, structure, and function of 20 patients with HAE from 14 families with no prior genetic diagnosis.

methodsPatients underwent whole-exome sequencing (WES). If no variants were identified, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed. Except for the frameshift and large deletions, each C1-INH variant was recombinantly produced and, if synthesized and secreted, was subjected to structural, oligosaccharide, and functional analyses.

resultsWe identified 11 heterozygous variants in the SERPING1 gene, of which 5 were classified as pathogenic (E85Dfs∗63, N166Qfs∗91, K201Qfs∗56, P399A, and R466H) and 6 as variants of uncertain significance (C130W, I224S, N272del, K273del, L349F, and F471C). Three large heterozygous deletions were discovered through WGS. Our data indicate that C130W, N272del, P399A, and F471C are poorly synthesized, I224S prevents proper C1-INH folding, and K273del impairs C1-INH function by adding an additional oligosaccharide. Further evaluation suggests that compound variant P399A/L349F contributes to a more severe clinical phenotype.

conclusionsOur combined approach of WES and WGS uncovered SERPING1 gene alternations in each patient. The recombinant protein production followed by systematic antigenic, structural, and functional assessment facilitates the identification of underlying pathogenic mechanisms in HAE.
