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
backgroundGlobally, congenital heart defect (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation, responsible for higher morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. It is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by gene-environment and gene-gene interactions. The current study was the first attempt to study these polymorphisms in common clinical phenotypes of CHD in Pakistan and the association between maternal hypertension and diabetes with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in children.
methodsA total of 376 subjects were recruited in this current case-control study. Six variants from three genes were analyzed by cost-effective multiplex PCR and genotyped by minisequencing. Statistical analysis was done by GraphPad prism and Haploview. The association of SNPs and CHD was determined using logistic regression.
resultsThe risk allele frequency was higher in cases as compared to healthy subjects, but the results were not significant for rs703752. However, stratification analysis suggested that rs703752 was significantly associated with the tetralogy of Fallot. The rs2295418 was significantly associated with maternal hypertension (OR = 16.41, p = 0.003), while a weak association was present between maternal diabetes and rs360057 (p = 0.08).
conclusionIn conclusion, variants in transcriptional and signaling genes were associated with Pakistani pediatric CHD patients that showed varied susceptibility between different clinical phenotypes of CHD. In addition, this study was the first report regarding the significant association between maternal hypertension and the LEFTY2 gene variant.
