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

Introduction: ITPR3 encodes a subunit of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), which forms a Ca Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of two patients with ITPR3 deficiency accompanied by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) at our center. Through a literature review, we further compared their clinical manifestations with those of combined immunodeficiency (CID) patients who presented with HLH. Results and Discussions: Our two CID patients with multisystem disorders harboring germline heterozygous ITPR3 mutations (c.7570C>G, p.Arg2524Gly and c.7570C>T, p.Arg2524Cys). Both patients developed severe Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated HLH, and one patient succumbed to disease-related complications. Our study demonstrates that ITPR3-associated CID confers a susceptibility to EBV-driven pathologies, particularly HLH, which warrants heightened clinical vigilance. Therefore, early hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) should be considered to improve survival outcomes in these patients.
