Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms Differentiated Between Tuberculosis Disease and Infection: Causal Association Study.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a critical stage in tuberculosis (TB)control, and few studies have addressed the role of vitamin D receptor(VDR) gene polymorphisms in differentiating between TB and late-onset TB from an immunogenetic perspective. Patients and Methods: Recruitment of tuberculosis patients and latently infected population in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and use of propensity score matching(PSM) to match the two groups and control confounding to further construct a Bayesian network to analyze causal associations between VDR polymorphisms and tuberculosis disease status. Results: 137 LTBI and 237 TB were obtained through PSM. Logistic regression showed that the VDR gene BsmI locus, TaqI locus, and ApaI locus were associated with a higher risk of TB in a codominant model ( Conclusion: Bayesian network modelling intuitively revealed that individuals with a C/T type of BsmI locus and physical labour are at high risk of TB compared with TB infection, and they are key factors between with TB disease, providing reference evidence for controlling TB progression.
