Article in Human mutation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Over 10,000 rare genetic diseases have been identified, and millions of newborns are affected by severe rare genetic diseases each year. A variety of Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)-based clinical decision support systems (CDSS) and patient repositories have been developed to support clinicians in diagnosing patients with suspected rare genetic diseases. In September 2017, we released PubCaseFinder (https://pubcasefinder.dbcls.jp), a web-based CDSS that provides ranked lists of genetic and rare diseases using HPO-based phenotypic similarities, where top-listed diseases represent the most likely differential diagnosis. We also developed a Matchmaker Exchange (MME) application programming interface (API) to query PubCaseFinder, which has been adopted by several patient repositories. In this paper, we describe notable updates regarding PubCaseFinder, the GeneYenta matching algorithm implemented in PubCaseFinder, and the PubCaseFinder API. The updated GeneYenta matching algorithm improves the performance of the CDSS automated differential diagnosis function. Moreover, the updated PubCaseFinder and new API empower patient repositories participating in MME and medical professionals to actively use HPO-based resources.
