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

Aplastic anemia (AA) results from T-cell-mediated destruction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), driving clonal hematopoiesis via loss of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) risk alleles (HLA loss-of-function mutations or uniparental disomy 6p, UPD6p), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) mutations. Here genomic profiling of 619 patients with AA revealed clonal hematopoiesis in 69% of cases, with ASXL1, BCOR and BCORL1 identified as the most frequent CHIP mutations in pediatric cases. Single-cell multi-omics analysis of 304,902 cells from 48 samples uncovered complex branching clonal architecture, with a median of three HLA loss events per patient, converging to inactivate HLA risk alleles. Single-cell whole-genome sequencing (WGS) resolved up to 15 HLA loss clones per patient and phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that these clones originated years before diagnosis. Long-read WGS precisely mapped UPD6p breakpoints and HLA methylation. HLA loss conferred a protective effect against CHIP, evidenced by their near-absent co-occurrence. Longitudinal single-cell analysis demonstrated that long-lived clones were enriched in the CD34
