Association Analysis of Interleukin-17 Gene Polymorphisms with the Risk Susceptibility to Tuberculosis.
Synthesis in Lung, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRecently, many institutions have investigated the associations of interleukin-17 (IL17) polymorphisms with tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility, while those results are inconsistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to comprehensively assess whether IL17A rs22275913, IL17F rs763780, and IL17A rs3748067 polymorphisms are correlated with TB risk.
methodsElectronic bibliographic databases were searched for case-control studies which potentially focused on the relationship between the aforementioned polymorphisms and TB risk on October 15th, 2015. Pooled odds ratios (OR) combined with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were employed to assess the associations.
resultsThere was no significant association of IL-17A rs22275913 polymorphism with susceptibility to TB in Asians or Caucasians. For IL-17A rs3748067 polymorphism, significant associations were observed in Asian (T vs. C: OR 1.461, 95 % CI 1.158-1.844, P = 0.001; TT vs. CC: OR 1.871, 95 % CI 1.140-3.069, P = 0.013; TT/TC vs. CC: OR 1.392 95 % CI 1.062-1.825, P = 0.017; TT vs. TC/CC: OR 1.820, 95 % CI 1.111-2.981, P = 0.017). For IL-17F rs763780, we detected the significant associations under allele contrast, heterozygote, dominant and recessive models (C vs. T: OR 1.571, 95 % CI 1.352-1.824, P = 0.000; CT vs. TT: OR 1.624, 95 % CI 1.346-1.958, P = 0.000; CT/TT vs. TT: OR 1.639, 95 % CI 1.381-1.946, P = 0.000, respectively). The corresponding results were also detected in Asian populations (C vs. T: OR 1.068, 95 % CI 1.380-1.875, P = 0.000; CT vs. TT: OR 1.689, 95 % CI 1.390-2.053, P = 0.000; CT/TT vs. TT: OR 1.695, 95 % CI 1.420-2.023, P = 0.000), while there were no significant associations in Caucasian.
conclusionIL-17F rs763780 allele C and IL-17A rs3748067 allele C may be involved in the susceptibility to TB in Asian populations. There were no significant associations between IL-17A rs22275913 polymorphism and risk of TB.
