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 clinical expression of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS) is extremely variable, as patients can present with recurrent or severe infections, immune dysregulation, atopic diseases, or extra-immunological manifestations. The immunological background underlying the different disease manifestations is not completely elucidated. The aim of this study was to identify the immunophenotypic peculiarities of 22q11.2 DS patients presenting with different disease expressions. This study included 34 patients with 22q11.2 DS, divided into three groups according to the clinical phenotype: isolated extra-immunological manifestations (G1), infectious phenotype with increased/severe infections (G2), and immune dysregulation (G3). The patients underwent extended immunophenotyping of the T and B lymphocytes and analysis of the circulating dendritic cells (DCs). In patients with an infectious phenotype, a significant reduction in CD3+ and CD4+ cells and an expansion of CD8 naïve cells was evidenced. On the other hand, the immunophenotype of the patients with immune dysregulation showed a skewing toward memory T cell populations, and reduced levels of recent thymic emigrants (RTEs), while the highest levels of RTEs were detected in the patients with isolated extra-immunological manifestations. This study integrates the current literature, contributing to elucidating the variability in the immune status of patients with 22q11.2DS with different phenotypic expressions, particularly in those with infectious phenotype and immune dysregulation.
