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 aim of the present study was to examine the association between vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) rs11941492 C/T polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk in an eastern Chinese Han population. We examined VEGFR2 rs11941492 C/T polymorphism in 615 RA patients and 839 controls in an East Chinese Han population. The power analysis was used for evaluating the reliability of the results. Genotyping was performed using a custom-by-design 48-Plex single nucleotide polymorphism scan Kit. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using logistic regression.Our results indicated that VEGFR2 rs11941492 C/T polymorphism (TT vs CC, P = .012, OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.41-0.89; TT vs CT + CC, P = .017, OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.43-0.92) was associated with a significantly decreased risk of RA. The power analysis showed that this study had a power of 98.5% to detect the effect of rs11941492 C/T polymorphism on RA susceptibility, assuming an OR of 0.61. After stratification analysis, a decreased risk of RA was associated with VEGFR2 rs11941492 TT genotype (TT vs CC) among female patients (TT vs CC, P = .007, OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.33-0.84), older patients (Yr ≥55) (TT vs CC, P = .039, OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.35-0.97), C-reactive protein-positive patients, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody-negative patients, rheumatoid factor-positive patients (TT vs CT + CC, P = .015, OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.39-0.90), functional class III + IV patients, patients with a DAS28 of ≥3.20, and those with an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of <25. However, our results were obtained from only a moderate-sized sample. Studies with larger sample sizes in other ethnic populations are needed to confirm these results. The VEGFR2 rs11941492 genotype is associated with decreased susceptibility to RA.
