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
Glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) genetic polymorphism has been considered as a risk factor for developing malignant diseases including acute lymphoblastic leukemia; however, the results from previous studies are inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis of 16 published studies to investigate the association between GSTT1 null variant and risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed using the I (2) statistic method. Odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (95 %CI) were pooled to assess the association. Those 16 studies were from 14 publications and included a total of 2,424 cases and 3,447 controls. Meta-analysis of a total of 16 studies showed that GSTT1 null variant was significantly associated with risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (fixed-effect OR = 1.22, 95 %CI 1.07-1.39, P = 0.003, I (2) = 35 %). Subgroup analysis showed that GSTT1 null variant was significantly associated with risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Asians (fixed-effect OR = 1.47, 95 %CI 1.16-1.85, P = 0.001, I (2) = 0 %). However, there was no obvious association in both Caucasians (random-effect OR = 1.07, 95 %CI 0.83-1.38, P = 0.59, I (2) = 53 %) and Africans (random-effect OR = 0.99, 95 %CI 0.31-3.10, P = 0.98, I (2) = 72 %). Therefore, the GSTT1 null variant is significantly associated with susceptibility to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Asians.
