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
Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders that affect humans and animals. Besides of the pathological agent, prion, there are some elements that can influence or determine susceptibility to prion infection and the clinical phenotype of the diseases, e.g., the polymorphism in PRNP gene. Another polymorphism in ZBTB38-RASA2 has been observed to be associated with the susceptibility of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (sCJD) in UK. MicroRNAs are endogenous small noncoding RNAs that control gene expression by targeting mRNAs and triggering either translation repression or RNA degradation. In this study, two polymorphic loci in miR-146a (rs2910164 and rs57095329) and one locus in ZBTB38-RASA2 (rs295301) of 561 Chinese patients of sCJD and 31 cases of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) were screened by PCR and sequencing. Our data did not figure out any association of those three SNPs with the susceptibility of sCJD. However, a significant association of the SNP of rs57095329 in miR-146a showed the association with the susceptibility of FFI. Additionally, the SNP of rs57095329 showed statistical significances with the appearances of mutism and the positive of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein 14-3-3 in sCJD patients, while the SNP of ZBTB38-RASA2 was significantly related with the appearance of myoclonus in sCJD patients. It indicates that the SNPs of ZBTB38-RASA2 and miR-146a are not associated with the susceptibility of the Chinese sCJD patients, but may influence the appearances of clinical manifestations somehow.
