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

Aim: To characterize the immune and molecular abnormalities underlying MIRAGE syndrome by profiling peripheral blood transcriptomes and assessing immune cell composition and function in affected patients. Methods: We performed RNA sequencing on peripheral whole-blood samples collected from identical twins diagnosed with MIRAGE syndrome and their healthy parents. Bulk RNA-seq data were subsequently deconvoluted to assess the composition, state, and functional characteristics of immune cell populations. Results: Differentially expressed genes between patients and healthy parents were significantly enriched in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, B-cell receptor signaling pathway, and primary immunodeficiency-related pathways. Patients exhibited reduced proportions of memory and naïve B cells, accompanied by increased proportions of CD8 T cells and M2 macrophages. We further identified the top 10 hub genes, which showed moderate to strong correlations with B-cell differentiation, proliferation, and activation. Conclusion: Immune cell dysregulation is evident in patients with MIRAGE syndrome, with B-cell abnormalities representing a prominent immunological feature.
