Exome sequencing for molecular characterization of non-HFE hereditary hemochromatosis.
Article in Blood cells, molecules & diseases, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diagnostic genetic testing for hereditary hemochromatosis is readily available for clinically relevant HFE variants (i.e., those that generate the C282Y, H63D and S65C HFE polymorphisms); however, genetic testing for other known causes of iron overload, including mutations affecting genes encoding hemojuvelin, transferrin receptor 2, HAMP, and ferroportin is not. As an alternative to conventional genetic testing we propose diagnostic use of whole exome sequencing for characterization of non-HFE hemochromatosis. To illustrate the effectiveness of whole exome sequencing as a diagnostic tool, we present the case of an 18-year-old female with a probable case of juvenile hemochromatosis, who was referred for specialty care after testing negative for commonly occurring HFE variants. Whole exome sequencing offered complete coverage of target genes and is a fast, cost effective diagnostic tool for characterization of non-HFE hemochromatosis.
