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

Loss-of-function (LOF) variants in IL6ST, encoding GP130, can cause hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES). Monoallelic LOF variants in IL6ST lead to HIES when located in the intracellular domain downstream of box 1/2 and upstream of the STAT3 phosphorylation sites and the recycling motif, due to their dominant negative (DN) activity. In this region, 2 previously unreported IL6ST variants, p.K702Sfs7* and p.Y759Wfs26*, were identified in 2 families with autosomal dominant (AD) HIES. Both variants were LOF and exhibited DN effects, leading to the accumulation of mutant GP130 on the cell surface. The p.K702Sfs7* mutation was the most upstream N-terminal mutation linked to HIES caused by heterozygous IL6ST variants. Comprehensive screening of IL6ST mutants revealed that most premature terminations downstream of amino acid F641, at the end of the transmembrane domain, resulted in LOF and DN effects via GP130 accumulation on the cell surface. The absence of the recycling motif (positions 782-787) in surface-expressed LOF GP130 led to its accumulation, contributing to the DN effect. The importance of intracellular truncating IL6ST variants can possibly be predicted based on the location of the premature stop codon. GP130 accumulation on the cell surface is a characteristic and potentially diagnostic finding in patients with HIES with heterozygous IL6ST variants.
