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
purposeAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) are sister diseases and have several similar clinical features and still have few genetic differences. The association of HERPUD1 (homocysteine inducible ER protein with ubiquitin like domain 1) gene variant rs2217332 with PCV is known; however, such association with AMD has not been reported in the Indian population. We analyzed the association of rs2217332 with PCV and AMD to identify the preferential association of this variant with these diseases.
methodsThis is a population-based case-control study consisting of 422 patients (129 AMD cases; 101 PCV cases, 192 healthy controls) recruited from the vitreoretinal clinic Sankara Nethralaya. The sample size for the study was calculated using appropriate power calculation methods. Genotype was determined using PCR-based Sanger sequencing. The SPSS V23.0 statistical package tool was used to calculate chi-square and ROC to determine the association of rs2217332 with control, AMD, and PCV.
resultsHere, we report for the first time the association of this genetic variant (rs2217332) with AMD and PCV in the Indian population. The case-control study shows a significant association of this SNP with PCV (P value = 0.002); however, this variant is not significantly associated with AMD (P value = 0.602). Comparison between AMD (as control) and PCV (as case) also showed significant association of the SNP with PCV (P value = 0.02). Minor allele A conferred to increase the risk of PCV.
conclusionsThe study concludes that the genetic variant rs2217332 in HERPUD1 gene is highly significantly associated with PCV and not with AMD in Indian populations.
