Are the Costimulatory Molecule Gene Polymorphisms (CTLA-4) Associated With Infection in Organ Transplantation? A Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Cell transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Organ transplantation has been linked to certain gene polymorphisms. The effect of gene polymorphisms-associated organ transplantation gene on infection, on the other hand, is yet unknown. The research studying the link between the CTLA-4 rs5742909, rs733618, rs4553808, rs231775, and polymorphisms of the organ transplantation gene and infection were found in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase, and the published articles from 2012 to 2020 were gathered. For the best estimation of the intended results, a random-effects model was used in this meta-analysis. In this study, 1,567 studies were initially included and 9 eligible studies were eligible for further analyses. A significant correlation between CTLA4+49 [A/G-231775 odds ratio (OR) = 077, 0.59-0.95] and CTLA4 [rs5742909TT OR: 0.09, 0.27-0.45] gene polymorphism with infection in organ transplantation was observed. Also, no significant association was found between other CTLA4 gene polymorphisms with infection in organ transplantation. Further studies involving gene-gene and gene-diet interactions should be conducted to investigate this association with infection.
