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

Ten years after the description of the first cohorts of patients with adenosine deaminase (ADA2) deficiency (DADA2), the pathomechanisms underlying the disease on a cellular level remain poorly understood. With the establishment of the lysosomal localization of the ADA2 protein and its involvement in nucleic acid sensing, the pathophysiologic focus has shifted to the inside of the cell. At the same time, extracellular (serum) ADA2 enzyme activity continues to be the diagnostic reference standard in patients with suspected DADA2. The diverse clinical phenotype and weak genotype-phenotype correlations further complicate the identification of shared cellular mechanisms that cause inflammation, immunodeficiency, and bone marrow failure in the absence of functional ADA2. This review inspects the characteristics of the ADA2 protein and its proposed function. The latter is discussed in the context of possible mechanisms driving the clinical phenotype in patients lacking functional ADA2. We discuss established processes and introduce unexplored pathways in the pathogenesis of DADA2.
