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

backgroundNucleotide mutations in the ABO gene may reduce the activity of glycosyltransferase, resulting in lower levels of A or B antigen expression in red blood cells. Six known splice sites have been identified according to the database of red cell immunogenetics and the blood group terminology of the International Society of Blood Transfusion. Here, we describe six distinct splice site variants in individuals with ABO subtypes.

methodsThe ABO phenotype was examined using a conventional serological method. A polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing method was used to examine the whole coding sequence of the ABO gene. The ABO gene haplotypes were studied using allele-specific primer amplification or cloning technology. In silico analytic tools were used to assess the functional effect of splice site variations.

resultsSix distinct variants in the ABO gene splice sites were identified in nine individuals with ABO subtypes, including c.28 + 1_2delGT, c.28 + 5G > A, c.28 + 5G > C, c.155 + 5G > A, c.204-1G > A and c.374 + 5G > A. c.28 + 1_2delGT was detected in an A

conclusionsThree novel splice site variations in the ABO gene were identified in Chinese individuals, resulting in decreased A or B antigen expression and the formation of ABO subtypes.
