Article in Central-European journal of immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 present study aimed to analyse and compare the distribution of MICA (rs1051792) and NKG2D/KLRK1 (rs1154831, rs1049174, rs2255336) polymorphisms in 61 Greek and 100 Polish patients with rheumatoid arthritis in relation to the presence of the HLA-DRB1 shared epitope and clinical parameters. Genotyping of selected polymorphism was performed using real-time PCR. HLA-DRB1 shared epitope alleles segregated differently in Greek and Polish patients but in both populations were detected in over 60% of cases. The rs1051792-A variant was more common among SE-positive Polish patients (p = 0.003) while the rs1049174-G allele was more frequently observed in Greeks than in Poles (p < 0.001). Moreover, among Greek patients, the rs1051792-GG homozygotes more frequently presented with anti-CCP antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF), while carriers of the rs1049174-G variant and rs1154831-CC homozygotes were characterized by lower disease activity scores (p < 0.05 in all cases). These results imply that, in addition to the HLA-DRB1 SE alleles, MICA and NKG2D polymorphisms may also play a role in rheumatoid arthritis.
