[Genetic susceptibility to infections].
Review in Der Internist, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Infectious diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The spectrum of clinical manifestations of infections is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic infection or mild illness to rapid progression of disease and death. Twin studies first showed an inheritable component of many infections and epidemiological and genetic studies revealed definite gene loci and polymorphisms for most of the clinically relevant infectious diseases. Reliable genetic markers which represent susceptibility or resistance to infections, prognosis of disease and response to treatment are necessary to define risk populations and to plan therapy regimens. Genetic research can also help in identifying target structures for novel therapy strategies and anitimicrobial agents. In this article the genetic background of important infections is reviewed and examples of successful exploitation of genetic findings and translation into practical medicine are given.
