Status of integrin subunit alpha 4 promoter DNA methylation in colorectal cancer and other malignant tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Research in pharmaceutical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background and purpose: Although many recent studies have analyzed the validation of integrin subunit alpha 4 (ITGA4) biomarker for cancer detection in patients with various malignancies, the diagnostic value of Experimental approach: A meta-analysis was performed using the metaphor package in R 3.5 and Meta-Disc 1.4 software. Data were derived from a search of main electronic databases up to January 2022. SROC analysis was used to evaluate the status of Findings/Results: The pooled results including all types of cancer provided evidence that Conclusion and implications:
