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

introductionC1q is an essential part of the classical pathway of complement activation. Genetic deficiencies, caused by homozygous mutations in one of the C1q genes, are rare and are strongly associated with development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we describe a C1q-deficient patient with a compound heterozygous mutation. MATERIAL AND

methodsSerum was analysed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot for the presence of C1q, and DNA and RNA sequencing was performed to identify the mutations and confirm that these were located on different chromosomes.

resultsThe medical history of the patient includes SLE diagnosis at age 11 years with cerebral involvement at age 13, various infections, osteonecrosis and hemophagocytic syndrome. Using ELISA and Western blot, we confirmed the absence of C1q in the serum of the patient. Using DNA sequencing, two mutations in the DISCUSSION: The patient described in this case report has a compound heterozygous mutation in
