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
objectiveTo determine whether the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (
methodsThis case-control study recruited angiogram-diagnosed patients with ischaemic stroke and healthy control subjects. The plasma Hcy concentrations were measured and the
resultsThis study recruited 198 patients with ischaemic stroke and 168 controls. The TT genotype conferred a higher risk for ischaemic stroke than the CC genotype (odds ratio of 3.563; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.412, 4.350). The T allele was the predisposing allele for ischaemic stroke. Hcy had an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.624 (95% CI 0.530, 0.758). The ROC for Hcy demonstrated its usefulness in predicting ischaemic stroke. Hcy levels were not associated with ischaemic stroke severity as measured by the NIHSS.
