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

The DNA polymerase δ complex (PolD), comprising catalytic subunit POLD1 and accessory subunits POLD2, POLD3, and POLD4, is essential for DNA synthesis and is central to genome integrity. We identified, by whole exome sequencing, a homozygous missense mutation (c.1118A > C; p.K373T) in POLD3 in a patient with Omenn syndrome. The patient exhibited severely decreased numbers of naïve T cells associated with a restricted T-cell receptor repertoire and a defect in the early stages of TCR recombination. The patient received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at age 6 months. He manifested progressive neurological regression and ultimately died at age 4 years. We performed molecular and functional analysis of the mutant POLD3 and assessed cell cycle progression as well as replication-associated DNA damage. Patient fibroblasts showed a marked defect in S-phase entry and an enhanced number of double-stranded DNA break-associated foci despite normal expression levels of PolD components. The cell cycle defect was rescued by transduction with WT POLD3. This study validates autosomal recessive POLD3 deficiency as a novel cause of profound T-cell deficiency and Omenn syndrome.
