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 typing from sequencing data is crucial for studying immune gene families, but high allele similarity challenges existing tools. We present ImmuSeeker, comprehensive software for extracting HLA genotypes, expression, and diversity at gene, one-field, and two-field allele levels, with improved Bayesian zygosity inference and graphical phylogenetic visualization. ImmuSeeker was benchmarked against nine established tools using gold-standard HLA datasets, repeated RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and Isoform Sequencing (Iso-Seq) data, and a longitudinal patient cohort, demonstrating superior accuracy, consistency, and analytical utility. ImmuSeeker provides a scalable, robust framework for comprehensive HLA typing and immune system analyses.
