Article in Current urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe MNS16A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase ( MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 130 patients with bladder cancer and 170 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were included in this study. Primer-specific polymerase chain reaction was used to genotype the different variants of VNTR alleles of the MNS16A VNTR polymorphism.
resultsShort allele VNTR-243 (SS) genotype frequency significantly differed between cases (9.23%) and controls (3.52%) (OR = 3.08 [95% CI = 1.10-8.61],
conclusionThe MNS16A VNTR short allele (S) was associated with a higher risk for bladder cancer in our population as compared to long alleles.
