ACE genotype, risk and causal relationship to stroke: implications for treatment.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the formation of angiotensin II and the breakdown of bradykinin into inactive products. The insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism affects the activity of the enzyme, with the DD genotype being responsible for the highest activity of the enzyme. Meta-analysis of 11 studies including white persons showed that the DD genotype was a risk factor for ischemic stroke. No such correlation was found in an Asian population. Studies on different etiologies or intermediate phenotypes of ischemic stroke did not bring univocal results. There are still no convincing data on whether the I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene is a risk factor for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and intracranial aneurysms, ruptured or unruptured. Several pharmacogenetic studies analyzed the influence of the ACE I/D polymorphism on the response to acute stroke therapy (thrombolysis) or prevention strategies (lifestyle modification and treatment of vascular risk factors). Presently, however, there is no consensus on whether the efficacy of these therapies is affected by the ACE gene I/D polymorphism.
