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

purposeHeterozygous STAT1 Gain-of-Function (GOF) mutations are the most common cause of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) among Inborn Errors of Immunity. Clinically, these mutations manifest as a broad spectrum of immune dysregulation, including autoimmune diseases, vascular disorders, and malignancies. The pathogenic mechanisms of immune dysregulation and its impact on immune cells are not yet fully understood. In treatment, JAK inhibitors have shown therapeutic effectiveness in some patients.

methodsWe analyzed clinical presentations, cellular phenotypes, and functional impacts in five Taiwanese patients with STAT1 GOF.

resultsWe identified two novel GOF mutations in 5 patients from 2 Taiwanese families, presenting with symptoms of CMC, late-onset rosacea, and autoimmunity. The enhanced phosphorylation and delayed dephosphorylation were displayed by the patients' cells. There are alterations in both innate and adaptive immune cells, including expansion of CD38

conclusionOur study provides the first comprehensive clinical and molecular characteristics in STAT1 GOF patient in Taiwan and highlights the dysregulated T and B cells subsets which may hinge the autoimmunity in STAT1 GOF patients. It also demonstrated the therapeutic safety and efficacy of baricitinib in pediatric patient. Further research is needed to delineate how the aberrant STAT1 signaling lead to the changes in cellular populations as well as to better link to the clinical manifestations of the disease.
