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

backgroundScianna (SC) blood group system comprises two antithetical antigens, Sc1 and Sc2, and five additional antigens. The antigens reside on a glycoprotein encoded by the erythroblast membrane-associated protein (ERMAP) gene. For the common ERMAP alleles, we determined the full-length nucleotide sequence that encodes the Scianna glycoprotein. STUDY DESIGN AND

methodsBlood donor samples from five populations were analyzed including 20 African Americans, 10 Caucasians, 10 Thai, five Asians, and five Hispanics for a total of 100 chromosomes. An assay was devised to determine the genomic sequence of the ERMAP gene in one amplicon, spanning 21.4 kb and covering Exons 2 to 12 and the intervening sequence (IVS). All alleles (confirmed haplotypes) were resolved without ambiguity.

resultsAmong 50 blood donors, we found 80 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including six novel SNPs, in 21,308 nucleotides covering the coding sequence of the ERMAP gene and including the introns. The noncoding sequences harbored 75 SNPs (68 in the introns and seven in the 3'-UTR). No SNP indicative of a nonfunctional allele was detected. The nucleotide sequences for 48 ERMAP alleles (confirmed haplotypes) were determined by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction and sequencing in 100 chromosomes.

conclusionsWe documented 48 ERMAP alleles of 21,308 nucleotides each. The two nucleotide sequences available in GenBank for ERMAP alleles of similar length have not been found in our 100 chromosomes. Alleles determined without ambiguity can be used as templates to analyze next generation sequencing data, which will enhance the reliability in clinical diagnostics.
