Health related quality of life in anti interferon γ autoantibody associated immunodeficiency syndrome measured with EQ5D5L and SF36.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The anti-IFN-γ disease is a rare condition characterized by recurrent and persistent infections, potentially impacting the quality of life (QoL). However, comprehensive data on QoL in this population are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the QoL of Anti-IFN-γ patients compared to healthy control and explore potential differences in QoL between patients in the active and remission stages. A cross-sectional study design was conducted, recruiting 38 Anti-IFN-γ patients and 38 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. QoL assessment utilized the 5-level EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The Anti-IFN-γ group had a mean age of 57.37 (± 10.32) years, with females comprising 60.53%. Among the Anti-IFN-γ patients, 55.26% were classified as having active disease. 63% of Anti-IFN-γ patients received Immunosuppressive treatments. Anti-IFN-γ disease exhibited a significant negative impact on HRQoL, as evidenced by lower utility scores in EQ-5D-5L and lower physical and mental component scores in SF-36 across various domains, including physical function, role physical, general health, bodily pain, social functioning, role emotion and mental health, compared to healthy controls. Additionally, patients in the active disease displayed lower scores in multiple domains, including bodily pain, general health, role emotion and mental health, and a lower utility score in EQ-5D-5L compared to patients in remission. The anti-IFN-γ disease significantly impairs the HRQoL of affected individuals compared to healthy controls. However, effective treatment leading to remission holds promise for improving the HRQoL of patients with Anti-IFN-γ disease.
