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
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for the patients with end-stage renal disease. Viral infections and genetic factors such as HLA-II antigens may affect the kidney transplant outcome. The compatibility of HLA-DRB1 molecules in the survival of kidney transplant is important. Also, the correlation between these molecules and viral infections is significant. The current study investigates the allele frequency of HLA-DRB1 in 41 recipient kidney transplant and 203 normal healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction using sequence specific primers. Moreover the relation between HLA-DRB1 allelic groups and hepatitis B, hepatitis C and cytomegalovirus viral infections was also studied. However statistical analysis of the allele frequencies didn't show any significant association between HLA-DRB1 allelic group distributions or sharing and susceptibility to acute kidney transplant rejection (P > 0.05). Comparing the allele frequencies between HLA-DRB1*14 and DRB1*04 allelic showed a significant difference in controls and patients (P = 0.03 and P = 0.05 respectively). The results of the present study also showed a significant association between possession of HLA-DRB1*07 allele in kidney transplant recipients and hepatitis C virus infection (P = 0.009). In conclusion however the results of the present study did not showed relation between HLA-DRB1 allele's frequencies or sharing and kidney transplantation outcome, the results indicated that HLA-DRB1 alleles may susceptible individuals to renal disease or play a role in susceptibility to viral infection in kidney transplant patients.
