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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms on the status of active renal calcium stone formation. Male active renal calcium stone formers (ASF, final N = 106) with two episodes of stone relapse in the past 5 years were enrolled from December 2008 to April 2009. Controls (N = 109) were selected from age range- and gender-matched individuals who had no evidence or history of stone disease. Sequencing and single-strand conformational polymorphism were used to determine VDR polymorphisms in the patients and controls. Three polymorphisms were identified in the VDR gene: (1) start codon polymorphism (rs2228570T>C; p.M1T); (2) C/T polymorphism in the second intron (NT-029419.12: g.10416049C>T); (3) a silent polymorphism in exon 9 (rs731236T>C; p.I352I). Start codon polymorphism was the only one that was associated with the status of calcium stone formation (p < 0.05). We performed a complete coding genome analysis of VDR gene and observed that only start codon polymorphism was related to the status of active calcium stone formation.
