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

Shotgun sequencing of >400 genomes from the ossuary of the Royal Basilica of Székesfehérvár identified three additional skeletal remains carrying the Árpád Dynasty's Y chromosome haplogroup R-ARP, raising the total known R-ARP+ individuals from four to seven. Kinship and IBD analyses placed these individuals within the dynasty alongside Béla, Duke of Macsó (†1272)-a Rurikid prince and great-great-grandson of King Béla III- and a fetus from a tomb adjacent to Béla III. One of these is King Béla II "the Blind" (1131-1141); a second is a likely second-degree relative of St. Ladislaus (probably an uncle, identity unresolved); the third, buried outside the original Basilica walls, is related to the Árpáds only by Y-haplogroup. The authenticity of Béla, Duke of Macsó's remains was genetically confirmed. IBD also linked Árpáds to conquering Hungarians, Vikings, and the Aba, Báthory, and Corvinus families.
