Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis caused by GATA2 deficiency: a report on three patients.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHaemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome that occurs in patients with severe systemic hyperinflammation. GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) is a transcription factor and key component in haematopoiesis and stem cell biology. CASE PRESENTATION: Three patients with HLH, one with Mycobacterium avium infection, one with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and one with Mycobacterium kansasii infection, were all subsequently found to have a defect in the GATA2 gene through genetic testing.
conclusionsGATA2 deficiency syndrome should be considered in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, nontuberculous mycobacterium infection and HLH. In addition, the GATA2 gene variant may be a genetic defect that could be the cause of the primary HLH. However, further studies are needed to confirm the role of GATA2 pathogenic variants in the pathogenesis of HLH.
