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

Autoinflammatory diseases affecting the NLRP3 gene are rare autosomal dominant disorders presenting with episodic organ limited and systemic inflammation. We report three patients with cryopyrinopathies. Our first case is a 4-year-old boy with a history of periodic fever, failure to thrive, and raised intracranial pressure. The second case is a 6-year-old boy with similar complaints, also with bilateral uveitis. The third is a 24-year-old gentleman with periodic fever and early hearing loss, also with a novel presentation of sacroiliitis. Our case series demonstrates that there should be a low clinical threshold indicating genetic testing in any child who displays features of autoinflammation in combination with an urticarial rash, musculoskeletal manifestations, hearing loss, and chronic aseptic meningitis with macrocephaly. Furthermore, despite anakinra being a cornerstone in treating NLRP-3 AID, there is an unmet clinical need to provide access to alternatives such as colchicine and thalidomide in resource-limited settings.
