The A allele of the UCP2 -866G/A polymorphism changes UCP2 promoter activity in HUVECs treated with high glucose.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation by mitochondria. Our group previously showed that the UCP2 -866A allele was associated with risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is caused by hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress. To date, it is still unclear if the -866A allele directly affects UCP2 expression in endothelial cells. Thus, we investigated the effect of the A allele on UCP2 promoter activity in HUVECs treated with high glucose (HG) or hydrogen peroxide (H
