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

backgroundOur study was designed to investigate the frequencies and distributions of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) associated genes in Saudi patients.

methodsFHL associated gene screening was performed on 87 Saudi patients who were diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) between 1995 and 2014. The clinical and biochemical profiles were also retrospectively captured and analyzed.

resultsHomozygous mutations and mono-allelic variants were identified in 66 (75.9%) and 3 (3.5%) of the study participants, respectively.

conclusionOur study revealed the predominance of the
