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

backgroundSome genetic association studies tried to investigate potential associations of transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) polymorphisms with chronic liver disease. However, the results of these studies were not consistent. Thus, we performed the present meta-analysis to explore associations between TM6SF2 polymorphisms and chronic liver disease in a larger pooled population.

methodsSystematic literature research of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI was performed to identify eligible studies for pooled analyses. I

resultsTotally 28 studies were included for analyses (13,137 cases and 11,010 controls). The pooled analyses showed that rs58542926 polymorphism was significantly associated with chronic liver disease in overall population (dominant model: p < 0.0001, OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.64-0.76, I

conclusionsThese results suggested that TM6SF2 rs58542926 could be used to identify individuals at higher susceptibility to chronic liver disease, especially for HCC, cirrhosis, ALD, and NAFLD.
