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

Germline homozygous loss-of-function mutations in TET2 result in significant childhood immunodeficiency that resembles autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome and predisposes one to lymphoma. The implications of heterozygous variants are less well understood. We describe four patients with heterozygous germline loss-of-function TET2 mutations who presented with B-cell lymphoma on a background of chronic lymphadenopathy and autoimmune features. This expands the association of germline TET2 mutations with lymphoma and an autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome-like phenotype to the heterozygous state. Assessment for TET2 mutations and germline origin should be considered in the appropriate context, as recognition of these variants may have implications on patient care.
