Persistent Ascites Revealing Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease Due to IL-12Rβ1 Deficiency: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Case reports in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Background: Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a subset of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) predisposing to clinical infections from less virulent mycobacterial species. Variants in 22 genes, particularly in IL-12Rβ1, have been identified that impair interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-mediated immunity. We report a new rare MSMD patient with a homozygous Case Report: We investigated a 30-month-old girl who developed an abscess and lymphadenopathy (LAP) in the left axilla after receiving a BCG vaccine. She was diagnosed and treated for BCG-osis. She presented with ascites, which gradually worsened, along with symptoms of liver dysfunction. Her portal hypertension (PHT) was considered the most likely cause of ascites after exclusion of other common causes. The whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a homozygous rare variant (c.635G>A; p.Arg212Gln) in the Conclusion: This case highlights severe persistent ascites as an unusual manifestation of PHT in IL-12Rβ1 deficiency associated with MSMD. Evaluation for PHT should be considered in MSMD patients with abdominal distension, gastrointestinal symptoms, hepatosplenomegaly, abnormal liver function tests, growth failure, or unexplained free abdominal fluid.
