Maternal effect genes as risk factors for congenital heart defects.
Article in HGG advances, 2022. 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
Maternal effect genes (MEGs) encode factors (e.g., RNA) in the oocyte that control embryonic development prior to activation of the embryonic genome. Over 80 mammalian MEGs have been identified, including several that have been associated with phenotypes in humans. Maternal variation in MEGs is associated with a range of adverse outcomes, which, in humans, include hydatidiform moles, zygotic cleavage failure, and offspring with multi-locus imprinting disorders. In addition, data from both animal models and humans suggest that the MEGs may be associated with structural birth defects such as congenital heart defects (CHDs). To further investigate the association between MEGs and CHDs, we conducted gene-level and gene-set analyses of known mammalian MEGs (n = 82) and two common groups of CHDs: conotruncal heart defects and left ventricular outflow tract defects. We identified 14 candidate CHD-related MEGs. These 14 MEGs include three (
