Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2) as Genetic Risk Factor for Obesity in Indonesia is Different in Gender Stratification.
Article in The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ala55Val and 45 basepair (bp) insertion/deletion (I/D) of UCP2 gene polymorphisms cause a decrease in resting energy expenditure, decreasing fatty acid oxidation and influencing mRNA transcription and stability, thereby increasing the risk of obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of Ala55Val and 45 bp I/D polymorphisms of the UCP2 gene as a risk factor for obesity. This study consisted of 200 Indonesian subjects of Javanese ethnicity consisting of 100 obese and 100 non-obese participants. Examination of Ala55Val (C > T) UCP2 genotype used Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods and 45 bp I/D genotype used PCR methods. Polymorphism of Ala55Val UCP2 genotype in the male group showed that TT genotype and T allele significantly lowers the risk of obesity. Insertion/deletion of 45 bp UCP2 gene in the male group showed that II genotype and I allele significantly increase the risk of obesity whereas for women it showed that the DI genotype and I allele lower the risk of obesity. The results of this study demonstrate that Ala55Val and 45 bp I/D UCP2 polymorphisms play a role in the risk of obesity in Javanese ethnicity of Indonesia after gender stratification.
