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) is the most polymorphic region in humans. Anthropologists use HLA to trace populations' migration and evolution. However, recent admixture between populations can mask the ancestral haplotype frequency distribution. We present a statistical method based on high-resolution HLA haplotype frequencies to resolve population admixture using a non-negative matrix factorization formalism and validated using haplotype frequencies from 56 world populations. The result is a minimal set of source components (SCs) decoding roughly 90% of the total variance in the studied admixtures. These SCs agree with the geographical distribution, phylogenies, and recent admixture events of the studied groups. With the growing population of multi-ethnic individuals, or individuals that do not report race/ethnic information, the HLA matching process for stem-cell and solid organ transplants is becoming more challenging. The presented algorithm provides a framework that facilitates the breakdown of highly admixed populations into SCs, which can be used to better match the rapidly growing population of multi-ethnic individuals worldwide.
