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

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare genetic condition caused by mutations in the interleukin-12/interferon-gamma pathway, leading to vulnerability to infection by weakly virulent mycobacteria. IL-12Rβ1 deficiency, the most common cause of MSMD, has rarely been associated with cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV). We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with IL-12Rβ1 deficiency who presented with recurrent maculopapular skin lesions confirmed as LCV on biopsy. The patient's clinical course included disseminated BCGitis, a history of kidney anomalies, and periodic erythematous rashes exacerbated by physical pressure. Laboratory findings revealed elevated inflammatory markers and immune dysregulation, and a skin biopsy confirmed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Treatment with topical corticosteroids and antihistamines resulted in clinical improvement. This case highlights the importance of recognizing LCV as a potential manifestation of IL-12Rβ1 deficiency and underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing these patients.
