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 human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are the most polymorphic genes in the human genome and have great power in forensic applications, especially in relationship testing and personal identification. However, the extreme polymorphism of HLA has made unambiguous genotyping of these genes very challenging and resulted in the limited application in relationship testing. Fortunately, massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technology offers the promise of unambiguous and high-throughput HLA typing. In this study, 11 HLA genes were typed in one extended family residing in North China and encompassing six generations. Phase-resolved genotypes for HLA genes were generated and HLA haplotype structure was defined. The paternity/kinship index, or in other words, likelihood ratio (LR) was calculated. A total of 88 alleles were identified, of which eight alleles were newly discovered. The inheritance of HLA alleles followed Mendelian law. With the discovery of new HLA alleles and three recombination events, a total of eleven new HLA haplotypes were identified in this population. LR distribution showed that, when HLA alleles were applied, the Log
