Telomerase dysfunction and dyskeratosis congenita.
Article in Cytotechnology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a multi system bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by muco-cutaneous abnormalities and an increased predisposition to malignancy. It exhibits considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of the disease are recognized. The X-linked recessive form is due to mutations in dyskerin, which is a component of both small nucleolar ribonuclear protein particles and the telomerase complex. Autosomal dominant DC is due to mutations in the RNA component of telomerase, TERC. As dyskerin and TERC are both components of the telomerase complex and all patients with DC have short telomeres it appears that the principal pathology in DC relates to telomerase dysfunction. The gene or genes involved in the recessive form of DC remain elusive, though genes whose products are required for telomere maintenance remain strong candidates. The study of DC has highlighted the critical role of telomerase and the consequences, including premature aging and malignancy, of its dysfunction.
