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

This minireview describes the history of the conceptual development of conserved extended haplotypes (CEHs): megabase-length haplotypes that exist at high (≥0.5%) population frequency. My career began in internal medicine, shifted to pediatrics, and clinical practice changed to research. My research interest was initially in hematology: on plasma proteins, their metabolism, synthesis, and function. This narrowed to a focus on proteins of the human complement system, their role in immunity and their genetics, beginning with polymorphism and deficiency of C3. My group identified genetic polymorphisms and/or inherited deficiencies of C2, C4, C6, and C8. After defining glycine-rich beta glycoprotein as factor B (Bf) in the properdin system, we found that the genes for Bf (
