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

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) was recognized as a primary immunodeficiency in the early 1970s. However, for almost 40 years, its genetic etiology remained unknown. The progressive molecular and cellular description of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) with syndromic CMC pointed toward a possible role of IL-17-mediated immunity in protecting against fungal infection and CMC. Since 2011, novel IEI affecting either the response to or production of IL-17A and/or IL-17F (IL-17A/F) in patients with isolated or syndromic CMC provided formal proof of the pivotal role of the IL-17 axis in mucocutaneous immunity to Candida spp, and, to a lesser extent, to Staphylococcus aureus in humans. In contrast, IL-17-mediated immunity seems largely redundant against other common microbes in humans. In this review, we outline the current knowledge of IEI associated with impaired IL-17A/F-mediated immunity, highlighting our current understanding of the role of IL-17A/F in human immunity.
