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
backgroundIt has been reported that polymorphisms of transferrin (TF) G258A and transferrin receptor (TFR) A82G might be associated with susceptibility to Parkinson disease (PD).
objectiveOwing to limitation of sample size and inconclusive results, we conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the association.
methodsBy searching PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biological Medicine Database, and Wanfang Databases, the published articles about studies of the association of the TF G258A, TFR A82G gene polymorphisms with the risk of PD were collected. Q-statistics and I statistics were calculated to examine heterogeneity and summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were evaluated the association.
resultsFive studies assessed the relationship between TF G258A and risk of PD. A significant increased protective of A allele and AA genotype was observed in allele model and recessive model (the allele model A vs G: OR = 0.54, 95%CI 0.40-0.72, P < .001; the recessive model AA vs GA + GG: OR = 0.32, 95%CI 0.20-0.52, P < .001). The remaining models of the TF G258A genotype showed no significant association with PD risk, while the protective tendency were increased (the heterozygote model GA vs GG: OR = 0.93, 95%CI 0.61-1.43, P = .75; the homozygous model AA vs GG: OR = 0.47, 95%CI 0.21-1.04, P = .06; the dominant model GA + AA vs GG: OR = 0.75, 95%CI 0.50-1.11, P = .15). There was also a lack of association between TFR A82G polymorphism and PD (the allele model G vs A: OR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.75-1.13, P = .43; the heterozygote model AG vs AA: OR = 1.17, 95%CI 0.79-1.71, P = .43; the homozygous model GG vs AA: OR = 0.91, 95%CI 0.60-139, P = .66; the dominant model AG + GG vs AA: OR = 1.05, 95%CI 0.73-1.49, P = .81; the recessive model GG vs AG +AA: OR = 0.80, 95%CI 0.59-1.09, P = .16).
conclusionOur study suggests that TF G258A polymorphism may be associated with PD, while TFR A82G polymorphism may not contribute to PD based on the current evidence.
