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
Dimethylarginine aminodehydrolase (DDAH1) and alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase2 (AGXT2) are two enzymes that contribute in asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) metabolism. Hence they affect production and bioavailability of eNOS-derived nitric oxide (NO) and consequently healthy blood vessels. The major aims of the current study were to investigate the association of genetic variants of AGXT2 rs37369, AGXT2 rs16899974 and DDAH1 rs997251 SNPs with incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Egyptians and to correlate these variants with the serum levels of ADMA and SDMA. The study included 150 subjects; 100 CAD patients and 50 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed by qPCR while the ADMA and SDMA concentrations were assayed by ELISA. Both serum ADMA and SDMA concentrations were significantly higher in CAD patients compared to controls (both p < 0.0001). Genotype distributions for all studied SNPs were significantly different between CAD patients and controls. Carriers of AGXT2 rs37369-T allele (CT + TT genotypes) and AGXT2 rs16899974-A allele (CA + AA genotypes) had 2.4- and 2.08-fold higher risk of having CAD than CC genotype in both SNPs (p = 0.0050 and 0.0192, respectively). DDAH1 rs997251 TC + CC genotypes were associated with 2.3-fold higher risk of CAD than TT genotype (p = 0.0063). Moreover, the AGXT2 rs37369 TT and AGXT2 rs16899974 AA genotypes were associated with the highest serum ADMA and SDMA while DDAH1 rs997251 CC genotype was associated with the highest ADMA. AGXT2 rs37369-T, AGXT2 rs16899974-A, and DDAH1 rs997251-C alleles represent independent risk factors for CAD in the Egyptians.
