1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A few genetic variants are implicated in the development of blepharospasm (BSP). The precise role of the rs6265 on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene on BSP remains controversial. The effect of rs6265 on BSP was evaluated. 206 patients with BSP and 206 healthy controls were recruited and genotyped for the rs6265. We also performed a meta-analysis, by pooling our results with those from previous studies. A significant effect of rs6265 on the risk of BSP was found in the dominant model of inheritance [odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.52 (1.01-2.29), p = 0.044]. Mutational load analysis of rs6265 in the risk of BSP using the OR
