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

Turner syndrome (TS) presents with multiple karyotypes, including 45,X monosomy and variants such as isochromosomes and mosaicism, and is characterized by several co-morbidities, including metabolic conditions and autoimmunity. Here, we investigated the genomic landscapes across a range of karyotypes. We show that TS have a common autosomal methylome and transcriptome, despite distinct karyotypic variations. All TS individuals lacked the X chromosome p-arm, and XIST expression from the q-arm did not affect the autosomal transcriptome or methylome, highlighting the critical role of the missing p-arm with its pseudoautosomal region 1. Furthermore, we show increased levels of neutrophils and increased neutrophil activation. The increase in neutrophils was linked to TS clinical traits and to increased expression of the X-Y homologous gene TBL1X, suggesting a genetic basis, which may lead to neutrophil-driven inflammatory stress in TS. Identifying TS individuals with increased neutrophil activation could potentially mitigate the progression towards more severe metabolic issues.
