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

Diagnosing common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) in childhood remains contentious, as monogenic inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are increasingly recognized in CVID-like phenotypes. We analyzed 7,525 ESID Registry patients with a clinical diagnosis of CVID to investigate age-dependent genetic architecture and associated phenotypes. Among living CVID patients, monogenic defects were identified in 82 of 251 children younger than 18 years (32.7%) versus 447 of 5,225 adults (8.6%; OR: 5.18, 95% CI: 3.86-6.92). Pediatric-onset disease (<18 years) likewise demonstrated increased monogenic underpinnings (OR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.56-2.27), strongest with onset before 4 years (OR: 2.99, 95% CI: 2.38-3.78). Monogenic "CVID" was more likely associated with immune dysregulation at presentation (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.66-2.36) and negatively linked to infection-predominant manifestations (OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.56-0.81). Physician-entered "additional-gene" annotations suggested multigene constellations in 1.6% of patients and identified recurrently recorded variants in other IEI-associated genes, including
