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

Complement C7 deficiency is associated with increased susceptibility to meningococcal infection. The genetic alterations of C7 deficiency are known to be sporadic and heterogeneous worldwide. We investigated molecular basis of C7 deficiency in two unrelated Korean families, in which the index cases suffered from meningococcal meningitis. Exon-specific PCR and direct sequencing of the C7 gene revealed two different mutations: c.1424G > A and c.281-1G > T. In family 1, index case and her brother revealed a homozygous mis-sense mutation (c.1424G > A), a novel mutation, which results in the change of cysteine to tyrosine (C475Y) in exon 10. Index case in family 2 was found to be a homozygote carrying point mutation at the 3' splice acceptor site of intron 3 (c.281-1G > T), which was previously reported in a Korean C7-deficient subject.
