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

Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase and its interacting protein ATRIP orchestrate the replication stress response. Homozygous splice variants in the ATRIP gene, resulting in ATRIP deficiency, were identified in two patients of independent ancestry with microcephaly, primordial dwarfism, and recurrent infections. The c.829+5G>T patient exhibited lymphopenia, poor vaccine responses, autoimmune features with hemolytic anemia, and neutropenia. Immunophenotyping revealed reduced CD16+/CD56dim NK cells and absent naïve T cells, MAIT cells, and iNKT cells. Lymphocytic defects were characterized by TCR oligoclonality, abnormal class switch recombination, and impaired T cell proliferation. ATRIP deficiency resulted in low-grade ATR activation but impaired CHK1 phosphorylation under genotoxic stress. ATRIP-deficient cells inadequately regulated DNA replication, leading to chromosomal instability, compromised cell cycle control, and impaired cell viability. CRISPR-SelectTIME confirmed reduced cell fitness for both variants. This study establishes ATRIP deficiency as a monogenic cause of microcephalic primordial dwarfism, highlights ATRIP's critical role in protecting immune cells from replication stress, and offers new insights into its canonical functions.
