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
aimThe aim of this case-control study was to investigate association of G/T IL-21 (rs2055979) and C/T IL-21R (rs3093390) gene polymorphisms with chronic hepatitis C virus in Iranian Patients.
backgroundInterleukin 21 (IL-21) has a significant function in the regulation of cellular immune responses. Its exclusive receptor, IL-21R, expressed on the surface of T, B and NK cells and is important for the proliferation and differentiation of these immune cells. Hence, it was suggested to be involved in response to viral infections.
methodsThis study follows a case-control study design and blood samples were collected from 290 patients with chronic HCV and 290 controls for both genes. Genomic DNA was extracted and then for each position, SNP was genotyped by the dedicated PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. The results were analyzed by SPSS software using logistic regression and Chi-square tests.
resultsGenotype frequencies of GG, GT and TT in IL21 gene (rs3093390) were found to be 27.6%, 48.3%, 24.1% and 25.2%, 55,5%, 19,3% respectively in HCV infected patients and control group. For IL21R gene (rs2055979) genotype frequencies of CC, CT and TT were 63.8%, 31.4%, 4.8% and 61.4%, 29.7%, 9.0% respectively in HCV infected patients and control group. P values for genotype and allele frequencies were p=0.188, p=0.769 for IL21 gene, and p=0.144, p=0.179 for IL21R gene respectively.
conclusionAs a result, there is no evidence for an association between IL-21 (rs2055979) and IL-21R (rs3093390) gene polymorphisms with chronic hepatitis C virus in Iranian Patients.
