Characterization of Ancestral Origin of Cystic Fibrosis of Patients with New Reported Mutations in CFTR.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. 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
The incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) and the frequency of the variants reported for CFTR depend on the population; furthermore, CF symptomatology is characterized by obstructive lung disease and pancreatic insufficiency among other symptoms, which are reliant on the individual's genotype. The Ecuadorian population is a mixture of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans. That population admixture could be the reason for the new mutations reported in a previous study by Ruiz et al. (2019). A panel of 46 Ancestry Informative Markers was used to estimate the ancestral proportions of each available sample (12 samples in total). As a result, the Native American ancestry proportion was the most prevalent in almost all individuals, except for three patients from Guayaquil with the mutation [
