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

The functional roles of residues 21-43 and 55-59 in the alpha-spectrin N-terminal region in forming tetramers were determined by the introduction of mutations at each of these positions. We measured association affinities for tetramer formation (K(d)), which can be used to predict clinical severity, of these mutants. A total of nine residues critical for association with beta-spectrin were found. The mutations of six of these residues have already been known to cause hereditary elliptocytosis or hereditary pyropoikilocytosis. Clinical symptoms associated with three mutations of residues 23, 57 and 58 have not yet been reported. We suggest that these mutations may also introduce abnormalities to erythrocytes.
