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

Helix (healthlinks.washington.edu/helix) is a web accessible database that serves as the main U.S. directory of laboratories offering genetic testing. The database was designed to address the previously unmet need for a centralized, continuously updated source of information about clinical and research genetic testing to keep pace with the rapid rate of gene discovery resulting from the Human Genome Project. The Helix project began in 1992 at the University of Washington and Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center. It has evolved from a single user stand alone relational database to a fully Web enabled database queried and maintained via the web and linked to other web accessible genomic databases. As of February, 1998 it lists more than 500 diseases and 290 laboratories, with over 5,200 registered users making approximately 250 queries/day (90% via the Internet). We describe the iterative design, implementation, population and assessment of the database over a six year period.
