1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo assess the association between chemotactic chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) -28C>G polymorphism and tuberculosis (TB) risk.

methodsPubMed, Web of Science, and WanFang were searched up to April 2015 for eligible studies on CCL5 -28C>G  polymorphism. Data was extracted, and pooled odd ratios (ORs) as well as 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated.

resultsEight case-control studies were extracted from 8 articles on the polymorphism involving 1852 TB cases and 2068 controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that significant reduced risks were found for the polymorphism with the risk of TB in Asians and Arabs as follows: OR=0.12, 95% CI=0.06-0.26, p=0.000 for mutant  homozygous (GG) versus wild-type homozygous (CC) for Asian descent, OR=0.14, 95% CI=0.07-0.28, p=0.000 for GG versus CC in the Arab descent.

conclusionOur findings demonstrated that CCL5 gene -28C>G   polymorphism might be a protective factor for the development of TB.
