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

backgroundThird-generation sequencing (TGS) based on long-read technology has been gradually used in identifying thalassemia and hemoglobin (Hb) variants. The aim of the present study was to explore genotype varieties of thalassemia and Hb variants in Quanzhou region of Southeast China by TGS.

methodsIncluded in this study were 6,174 subjects with thalassemia traits from Quanzhou region of Southeast China. All of them underwent common thalassemia gene testing using the DNA reverse dot-blot hybridization technology. Subjects who were suspected as rare thalassemia carriers were further subjected to TGS to identify rare or novel α- and β-globin gene variants, and the results were verified by Sanger sequencing and/or gap PCR.

resultsOf the 6,174 included subjects, 2,390 (38.71%) were identified as α- and β-globin gene mutation carriers, including 40 carrying rare or novel α- and β-thalassemia mutations. The α

conclusionOur findings may provide valuable data for enriching the spectrum of thalassemia and highlight the clinical application value of TGS-based α- and β-globin genetic testing.
