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

backgroundPhospholipase C (PLC) γ1 is a critical enzyme regulating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), extracellular signal-related kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor of activated T cells signaling pathways, yet germline PLCG1 mutation in human disease has not been reported.

objectiveWe aimed to investigate the molecular pathogenesis of a PLCG1 activating variant in a patient with immune dysregulation.

methodsWhole exome sequencing was used to identify the patient's pathogenic variants. Bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, quantitative PCR, cytometry by time of flight, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, luciferase assay, IP-One ELISA, calcium flux assay, and cytokine measurements in patient PBMCs and T cells and COS-7 and Jurkat cell lines were used to define inflammatory signatures and assess the impact of the PLCG1 variant on protein function and immune signaling.

resultsWe identified a novel and de novo heterozygous PLCG1 variant, p.S1021F, in a patient presenting with early-onset immune dysregulation disease. We demonstrated that the S1021F variant is a gain-of-function variant, leading to increased inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate production, intracellular Ca

conclusionsOur study highlights the critical role of PLCγ1 in maintaining immune homeostasis. We illustrate immune dysregulation as a consequence of PLCγ1 activation and provide insight into therapeutic targeting of PLCγ1.
