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

backgroundNFKB1 encodes p105, which is processed to p50 to mediate canonical nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling. Although NF-κB is a central driver of inflammation and heterozygous NFKB1 variants are considered the most common monogenic etiologies of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), few studies have explored how NFKB1 variants shape clinical course or inflammation in CVID.

objectiveWe leveraged a regional cohort of patients with CVID with and without heterozygous NFKB1 variants to assess how clinical and inflammatory features of CVID are shaped by the presence of these variants.

methodsWe compared clinical complications, immunologic features, and plasma cytokine levels of 15 patients with CVID with heterozygous NFKB1 variants and 77 genetically undefined patients with CVID from the same referral base. We also assessed differences between patients with CVID with frameshift or nonsense NFKB1 variants compared with those with missense NFKB1 variants.

resultsWe found patients with CVID with heterozygous NFKB1 variants to have increased autoimmune disease, bronchiectasis, gastrointestinal infections, inflammatory bowel disease, and plasma cytokines. These findings were more pronounced and included elevation of monocytes in patients with CVID with frameshift or nonsense NFKB1 variants relative to those with missense NFKB1 variants.

conclusionsIn a regional cohort, heterozygous NFKB1 variants were associated with worsened CVID clinical course and increased evidence of inflammation in the blood. Patients with CVID with frameshift or nonsense NFKB1 variants had more significant increases in noninfectious complications and peripheral monocytes than those with missense NFKB1 variants. Presence of pathogenic NFKB1 variants in patients with CVID may worsen the disease course and warrant closer monitoring.
