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

Severe inflammatory lung disease, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is life-threatening with diverse causes and few targeted therapies. Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) underlie a subset of cases. We describe a novel IEI caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in PTPN6, encoding the immunoregulatory phosphatase SHP1. Seven children from five families developed early-onset anemia and severe inflammatory lung disease, at times presenting as ARDS. The causative variants were shown to destabilize SHP1 and abolish its phosphatase activity. These findings expand the genetic landscape of inflammatory lung disease and suggest SHP1 activation as a potential therapeutic strategy for immune-mediated pulmonary pathology.
