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

HLA alleles are representative of ethnicities and may play important roles in predisposition to hematological disorders. We analyzed DNA samples for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 loci, from 1550 patients and 4450 potential related donors by PCR-SSO (Polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific oligonucleotides) and estimated allele frequencies in donors and patients from 1550 families who underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in Egypt. We also studied the association between HLA allele frequencies and incidence of acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and severe aplastic anemia. The most frequently observed HLA class I alleles were HLA- A*01:01 (16.9%), A*02:01 (16.1%), B*41:01 (8.7%), B*49:01 (7.3%), C*06:02 (25.1%), and C*07:01 (25.1%), and the most frequently observed class II alleles were HLA-DRB1*11:01 (11.8%), DRB1*03:01 (11.6%), DQB1*03:01 (27.5%), and DQB1*05:01 (18.9%). The most frequently observed haplotypes were A*33:01~B*14:02 ~ DRB1*01:02 (2.35%) and A*01:01~B*52:01~DRB1*15:01 (2.11%). HLA-DRB1*07:01 was associated with higher AML odds (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.02-1.55; p = 0.030). Only HLA-B38 antigen showed a trend towards increased odds of ALL (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.00-2.30; p = 0.049) HLA-A*02:01, -B*14:02, and -DRB1*15:01 were associated with higher odds of SAA (A*02:01: OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.07-1.70; p = 0.010; B*14:02: OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.06-1.93; p = 0.020; DRB1*15:01: OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07-1.64; p = 0.011). This study provides estimates of HLA allele and haplotype frequencies and their association with hematological disorders in an Egyptian population.
