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
purposeAge-related cataract (ARC) is a multifactorial disease and different risk factors, including genetic and environmental, are responsible for the development of its various types. The aim of this study was to find out a correlation, if any, between ARC and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-complementary-1) [Arg194Trp (rs1799782)] and XPD (xerodermapigmentosa complementation group D) [Lys751Gln (rs13,181].
methodThe genotype at these two SNPs was analyzed in 260 subjects (125 control and 135 patients) from Southern Punjab population (Pakistan) by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Genotype at both analyzed codons was correlated either individually or in various combinations with the studied epidemiological factors known to be associated with ARC.
resultsOur results indicated that both SNPs Arg194Trp in XRCC1 (P = 0.967) and Lys751Gln in XPD (P = 0.995) were not associated with ARC whether they were analyzed individually or in combined form (P > 0.05). Analysis of epidemiological factors revealed that age (P < 0.001), cast of subjects (P = 0.001), diabetes (P < 0.001), hypertension (P = 0.001), smoking habit (P = 0.01), drug abuse (P < 0.05), steroid use (P = 0.001) and body weight (P < 0.001) can influence the incidence of ARC in enrolled subjects. After applying Binary logistic regression it was found that the weight (P < 0.01), family history (P = 0.05), drug abuse (P = 0.05), smoking (P < 0.05) and steroid use (P < 0.05) has a significant association with the phenotype of the subjects. All epidemiological factors were also studied in association with various genotypic combinations of both SNPS, diabetes was the only factor that had a significant association (P < 0.001) association with ARC. Hypertension (P = 0.01), body weight (P < 0.05) and cast (P < 0.001) were found associated with ARC when epidemiological factors were individually correlated with ARC. Result of the two proportion test indicated that gender had no influence on the incidence of disease.
conclusionIt is concluded that studied SNPs in XRCC1 and XPD have no association with the incidence of age related cataract in the analyzed group of subjects.
