A common polymorphism of COMT was associated with symptomatic lumbar disc herniation based on a large sample with Chinese Han ancestry.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common spine disease characterized by a tear in the disc ring and bulges out at the soft portion. COMT is a protein coding gene located at 22q11.21, and its gene product is a major mammalian enzyme involved in the degradation of catecholamines. A total of 2,678 study subjects with Chinese Han ancestry were recruited and 15 SNPs were selected for genotyping in our study subjects. A synonymous coding SNP, rs4633, was identified to be significantly associated with the disease status of LDH after adjusting for BMI (OR = 0.76, P = 4.83 × 10
