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

Caspase recruitment domain containing protein 9 (CARD9) deficiency is an autosomal-recessive primary immunodeficiency disorder, undermines the body's capacity to combat fungal infections. In recent years, the number of reported cases of fungal infections associated with CARD9 deficiency has been increasing. This study undertook a systematic review of case reports, incorporating 89 patients with CARD9 deficiency complicated by fungal infections. The findings demonstrated that the patient population predominantly consisted of young and middle-aged individuals (33.43 ± 19.12 years, range: 1-91), and the majority (52 patients, 58.43%) developed the disease during childhood or adolescence. Significant geographical variations were observed in the distribution of gene mutations. Specifically, the c.820dupG mutation was predominantly found in East Asia, while the c.865C>T mutation was primarily found North Africa. Regarding the clinical manifestations, the most frequently affected sites were the skin, central nervous system, and lymph nodes, and the principal fungal pathogens identified were
