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

First generation linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype maps of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been generated in order to aid the unraveling of the numerous disease predisposing genes in this region by offering a first set of haplotype tagSNPs. Several parameters, like the population studied, the marker map used, the density of polymorphisms and the applied algorithm, are influencing the appearance of haplotype blocks and selection of tags. The MHC comprises a limited number of ancestral, conserved haplotypes. We address the impact of the underlying HLA haplotypes on the LD patterns, haplotype blocks and tag selection throughout the entire extended MHC (xMHC) by studying DR-DQ haplotypes, mainly those carrying DRB1*03 and DRB1*04 alleles. We observed significantly different degree and extent of LD calculated on different HLA backgrounds, as well as variation in the size and boundaries of the defined haplotype and tags selected. Our results demonstrate that the underlying ancestral HLA haplotypic architecture is yet another parameter to take into consideration when constructing LD maps of the xMHC. This may be essential for mapping of disease susceptibility genes since many diseases are associated with and map on particular HLA haplotypes.
