The -149C>T polymorphism of DNMT3B is not associated with colorectal cancer risk: Evidence from a meta-analysis based on case-control studies.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 aim of this study was to examine the association between the -149C>T polymorphism of DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) and colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility. A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all case-control studies of the -149C>T polymorphism of DNMT3B and CRC risk. Statistical analysis was performed with the software program Stata (version 12.0) and Review Manager (version 5.0). A total of seven eligible studies, including 2,666 cases and 4,022 controls, associating the DNMT3B polymorphism of -149C>T with the risk of CRC were identified. These studies suggested no significant associations between the -149C>T polymorphism of the DNMT3B gene and the risk of developing CRC in the recessive, dominant and co-dominant models [for CC vs. TT: odds ratio (OR), 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.90-1.25; P=0.37; for the recessive model: OR, 0.54, 95% CI, 0.28-1.04; P<0.00001; for the dominant model: OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.93-1.23; P=0.83 and C allele vs. T allele: OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.43-1.13; P<0.00001]. In the subgroup analysis, no significant associations were found in the European populations (for CC vs. TT: OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.92-1.30; P=0.88; for the recessive model: OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.88-1.13; P=0.14; for the dominant model: OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 0.89-2.54; P<0.00001 and C allele vs. T allele: OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.38-1.28; P<0.00001). No significant association was found between the -149C>T polymorphism in DNMT3B and CRC susceptibility.
