1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Diisocyanates are widely used compounds that pose a safety concern for workers in occupations within the spray-paint, spray-foam insulation, and furniture varnish industries. Epidemiological studies show that only a subset of workers exposed to diisocyanates develop diisocyanate-induced occupational asthma (diisocyanate asthma, DA), indicating that genetic susceptibility may play a role. The purpose of this systematic literature review was to compile and meta-analyze the reported data on genetic susceptibility markers for DA. Three databases (Embase, Pubmed, and Scopus) were searched and 169 non-duplicate publications were identified, of which 22 relevant occupational studies were included in this review. Researchers reported prevalence odds ratios (PORs) for 943 comparisons in 82 different genes/serotypes. Protein network functions for the DA-associated genes from this review include: antigen processing, lymphocyte activation, cytokine production regulation, and response to oxidative stress. Meta-analysis of comparisons between workers with DA and controls was conducted for 23 genetic markers within: CTNNA3,
