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
Sulfotransferase isoform 1A1 (SULT1A1) is a member of the sulfotransferase family that plays an important role in the biotransformation of numerous carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds through sulfation. A number of case-control studies were conducted to investigate the association between the Arg213His polymorphism in SULT1A1 and the risk of urothelial carcinoma (UC) in humans. However, the results were inconsistent. A meta-analysis based on 10 case-control studies was performed to address this issue. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the strength of this association. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed with the Chi-square-based Q test. Overall, a possibly decreased risk of UC was associated with the SULT1A1 A/A polymorphism for the heterozygote model (OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.76-0.98, P=0.471). In the subgroup analysis by cancer type, the results indicated that individuals with the G/G genotype had a significantly higher bladder cancer (BC) risk (GA vs. GG: OR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.74-0.99, P=0.626; GA/AA vs. GG: OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.74-0.97, P=0.504), which was contrary to the results of the upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) group (AA vs. GG: OR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.28-3.69; AA vs. GA/GG: OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.24-3.38). In addition, stratification by smoking status demonstrated that the Arg213His polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of UC in non-smokers (OR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.53-0.92) but not in smokers (OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.70-1.03) under the dominant model. In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated a significant association between the SULT1A1 Arg213His polymorphism and BC. However, there was insufficient evidence to support a consistent association between this polymorphism and UC, partly due to the differences between BC and UTUC.
