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
In previous study, we have found the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism may be associated with the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in Asians, especially Japanese population. In this study, we further evaluated the associations of PD wearing-off susceptibility with COMT polymorphisms. We carried out a retrieval of studies and included the relevant studies which met the criteria. After the data were extracted, the Stata software 11.0 was used to analyse the genotype frequencies. A total of five studies were included. The pooled result indicated that genotype AA was significantly associated with the wearing-off risk of PD (AA vs. others: OR = 2.52, 95 % CI 1.21-5.26, P = 0.013; AA vs. GA: OR = 2.51, 95 % CI 1.18-5.34, P = 0.017; AA vs. GG: OR = 2.17, 95 % CI 1.09-4.33, P = 0.027). The results also showed allele A was correlated with PD wearing-off risk (A vs. G: OR = 1.95, 95 % CI 1.18-3.22, P = 0.009). In conclusion, this study suggested that Val158Met polymorphisms in COMT may increase the risk of wearing-off. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our results.
