Association between apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism and the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe association between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism and the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) remains controversial. The present meta-analysis was performed to derive a precise estimate of the relationship. METHOD(S): We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science data- bases for studies related to the association between the ApoE genotype and the risk of RPL. We estimated the summary odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) to assess the association. RESULT(S): Seven studies, including 2,090 RPL cases and 742 control samples, were identified. The results showed a significant association between ApoE E4 mutation and RPL risk (for E4 allele: OR =1.98, 95 %CI =1.14-3.43, P=0.499; for E2E3 vs. E3E3: OR =1.33, 95%CI =1.12-1.42, P=0.008; for E2E4 vs. E3E3: OR =1.26, 95 % CI =1.07-1.49, P=0.005). CONCLUSION(S): The meta-analysis suggests an association between ApoE E4 mutation and increased risk of RPL.
