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

purposeGenetics of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is complex and not fully elucidated. This study presents the clinical and genetic findings of a Danish CVID cohort and investigate whether initial genetic findings can be re-classified upon re-evaluation years later in time.

methodsFrom 2016 to 2021, individuals with CVID or a CVID-like-phenotype were examined using whole exome or whole genome sequencing in combination with comprehensive gene-panels. The results were re-evaluated to ensure up-to-date American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) classification after a median of 3.9 years. Further, a clinical-interpretation-algorithm is proposed.

resultsOf 69 enrolled individuals, 57 met the current ESID-CVID-criteria of whom 29 (51%) had a genetic find. In total 67 ACMG class 3 to 5 variants were detected in 39 different genes. Class 3 variants (variants of uncertain significance (VUS)) accounted for 81% in the initial analysis. Upon re-evaluation 17 of 54 (31%) of the originally reported VUS were re-classified to a different ACMG-class or excluded. The developed clinical-interpretation-algorithm demonstrated high interobserver-agreement. A “definite/probable” disease causing (or contributing) genetic variant was found in 19% of the CVID-cohort and a “possible” in 18%.

conclusionA genetic cause of CVID could be identified in a minority of CVID-individuals, whereas the majority had no or uncertain genetic findings. Re-evaluation of genetic results over time is recommended, though VUS remain a significant challenge in CVID-genetics. Therefore, continued research in both CVID-genetics and in non-genetic causes of CVID is needed.
