Genetic Polymorphism of Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha, Interferon-Gamma and Interleukin-10 and Association With Risk of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection.
Article in Journal of evidence-based integrative medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
background
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2018. Five ml of whole blood was collected and extracted the genomic DNA through simple salting out method. The patterns of genetic polymorphism were determined by amplification refractory method PCR using specific primers. Finally, the PCR run on electrophoresis of agarose gel and the band was visualized under UV light. A logistical regression model has been adapted to assess the association of genetic polymorphisms with tubercular infection. In order to determine the association between the explanatory and outcome variable, the odds ratio with 95% CI was calculated. P < 0.05 is a statistically significant value.
resultIn present study, the frequency of TNF-α -308 G allele and GG genotype OR (95% CI)= 0.20 (0.11-0.37), and OR (95% CI)= 0.29 (0.18-0.46)), respectively) and IFN-γ +874 A allele and AA genotype OR (95% CI)= 3.80 (2.11-6.86) and (OR (95% CI)= 1.61(1.13-2.28), respectively) were significantly associated with tuberculosis incidence. In contrast, there is no significant correlation between IL-10 -1082 A and AA of allele and genotype, respectively in tuberculosis patients (p > 0.05) was evident.
conclusionFrom our finding, the genetic variability of TNF-α -308 A and IFN-γ +874 alleles are the potent host genetic risk factors associated with tuberculosis infection.
