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.
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
Limited studies are available regarding the pathophysiological mechanism of acquired atrioventricular block (AVB). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of arrhythmia. However, the relationship between these molecules and acquired AVB is still unclear. One hundred and two patients with documented acquired AVB and 100 controls were studied. Gene polymorphisms of the MMP1 and ACE encoding genes were screened by the gene sequencing method or polymerase chain reaction-fragment length polymorphism assay, followed by an association study. The frequencies of the MMP1 -1607 2G2G genotype and MMP1 -1607 2 G allele were significantly higher in the AVB group than that in the controls (OR = 1.933, P = 0.027 and OR = 1.684, P = 0.012, respectively). Consistently, the level of serum MMP1 was significantly greater in acquired AVB patients than that in controls (6568.9 ± 5748.6 pg/ml vs. 4730.5 ± 3377.1 pg/ml, P = 0.019). In addition, the MMP1 2G2G genotype showed a higher MMP-1 serum level than the other genotypes (1G1G/1G2G) (7048.1 ± 5683.0 pg/ml vs. 5072.4 ± 4267.6 pg/ml, P = 0.042). MMP1 1 G/2 G gene polymorphism may contribute to determining the disease susceptibility of acquired AVB by linking the MMP serum protein level.
