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
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) genetic polymorphisms are implicated to be associated with susceptibility to bone sarcomas, but published studies have reported inconclusive results. The objective of our study was to conduct a meta-analysis investigating the associations between CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms and risk of bone sarcomas. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for all articles published up to June 2, 2013. Odds ratio (OR) with a 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) was used to assess the association. Finally, 11 individual studies with a total of 2,951 cases with bone sarcomas and 3,396 controls were included in the meta-analysis. There were four studies on the CTLA-4 49G/A polymorphism, three studies on CTLA-4 318C/T polymorphism, two studies on CTLA-4 1661A/G polymorphism, and two studies on CTLA-4 60A/G polymorphism. Overall, CTLA-4 49G/A polymorphism was obviously associated with risk of bone sarcomas (A vs. G: OR = 1.36, 95 % CI = 1.20-1.54; AA vs. GG: OR = 2.24, 95 % CI = 1.67-2.99; AA vs. AG/GG: OR = 2.00, 95 % CI = 1.53-2.62; AA/GA vs. GG: OR = 1.35, 95 % CI = 1.14-1.61). However, CTLA-4 318C/T, 1661A/G, and 60A/G polymorphisms were not associated with risk of bone sarcomas. The current meta-analysis suggests that CTLA-4 49G/A polymorphism is obviously associated with risk of bone sarcomas. More studies are needed to further evaluate the associations between CTLA-4 polymorphisms and risk of bone sarcomas.
