GSTM1 null polymorphisms is associated with laryngeal cancer risk: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Many studies have examined the association between the GSTM1 (null or non-null genotype) polymorphism and laryngeal cancer risk in various populations, but their results have been inconsistent. To assess this relationship more precisely, a meta-analysis was performed. PubMed was searched for case-control studies published up to December 2013. Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Ultimately, 23 studies, comprising 2,562 laryngeal cancer cases and 4,091 controls, were included. Overall, for null versus present, the pooled OR was 1.22 (95 % CI = 1.10-1.36), and the heterogeneity was found in all studies. In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, significant risks were found among Asians (OR = 1.71; 95 % CI = 1.34-2.19; P = 0.011 for heterogeneity) and in Caucasians (OR = 1.13, 95 % CI = 1.00-1.27; P = 0.036 for heterogeneity). In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrates that the GSTM1 null gene polymorphism is an increased risk of laryngeal cancer in Asians and Caucasians.
