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

Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by albinism, visual impairment, and blood platelet dysfunction. One of the genes responsible for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, hps1, regulates organelle biogenesis and thus plays important roles in melanin production, blood clotting, and the other organelle-related functions in humans and mice. However, the function of hps1 in other species remains poorly understood. In this study, we discovered albino medaka fish during the maintenance of a wild-derived population and identified hps1 as the responsible gene using positional cloning. In addition to the specific absence of melanophore pigmentation, the hps1 mutant showed reduced blood coagulation, suggesting that hps1 is involved in clotting caused by both mammalian platelets and fish thrombocytes. Together, the findings of our study demonstrate that hps1 has an evolutionarily conserved role in melanin production and blood coagulation. In addition, our study presents a useful vertebrate model for understanding the molecular mechanisms of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome.
