The Association Between MTHFR C677T Gene Polymorphism and Repeated Pregnancy Loss in Arabic Countries: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
The role of MTHFR C677T polymorphism in repeated pregnancy loss (RPL) among different populations has been studied with inconsistent results. The study objective was to determine the association between MTHFR C677T polymorphisms and RPL among Arab women. The review included all the available studies investigating the association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and RPL from 2000 until now. The searched database included Cochrane, Trip, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Two authors independently reviewed the searched articles for eligibility, judged their risk of bias, and extracted the characteristics of the studies. Review Manager 5.3 program was used for data analysis using odds ratio (OR) at a 95% confidence interval (CI). The study revealed a statistically significant difference between cases and controls regarding combined MTHFR C677T polymorphisms (OR = 1.50, 95% CI = 1.15-1.96), MTHFR C677T heterozygous (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.08-1.83), and MTHFR C677T homozygous (OR = 4.19, 95% CI = 1.87-9.39). Considerable significant heterogeneity was recorded in the three analyses (P < 0.05). The review supported the hypothesis that MTHFR C677T mutation is considered a significant risk factor for RPL among Arab women.
