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

Targeted next generation sequencing-based HLA typing of a 17-year-old female transplant patient showed homozygosity for the HLA-B allele. The segregation analysis of HLA haplotypes of family members only allowed the conclusion that the B-allele was deleted in the haplotype inherited from the father and accordingly paternal grandfather, resulting in false homozygous genotyping. The subsequent whole-genome sequencing of the patient and her father confirmed an approximately 85 kb deletion at 6p21.33 from the 5' end of the HLA-B to the 3' end of the HLA-C gene extending telomeric to HLA-C.
