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

Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is a rare syndrome characterized by an increased incidence of cancer. It is caused by biallelic germline mutations in one of the four mismatch repair genes (MMR) genes: MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2. Accurate diagnosis accompanied by a proper molecular genetic examination plays a crucial role in cancer management and also has implications for other family members. In this report, we share the impact of the diagnosis and challenges during the clinical management of two brothers with CMMRD from a non-consanguineous family harbouring compound heterozygous variants in the PMS2 gene. Both brothers presented with different phenotypic manifestations and cancer spectrum. Treatment involving immune checkpoint inhibitors significantly contributed to prolonged survival in both patients affected by lethal gliomas. The uniform hypermutation also allowed immune-directed treatment using nivolumab for the B-cell lymphoma, thereby limiting the intensive chemotherapy exposure in this young patient who remains at risk for subsequent malignancies.
