ARHGAP18 is a novel gene under positive natural selection that influences HbF levels in β-thalassaemia.

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
Foetal haemoglobin (HbF) plays a dominant role in ameliorating the morbidity and mortality of β-thalassaemia. A better understanding of the loci and genes involved in HbF expression would be beneficial for the treatment of β-thalassaemia major. However, the genes associated with HbF expression remain largely unknown. In this study, we first explored large-scale data sets and examined the human genome for evidence of positive natural selection to screen out single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genetic analysis of HbF levels was conducted in a Chinese cohort of patients with β-thalassaemia to confirm the bioinformatics results. A total of 1141 subjects with β-thalassaemia were recruited. The results showed that the SNP rs11759328 in the ARHGAP18 gene was significantly associated with HbF levels (Ρ = 5.1 × 10
