Variations in folate prescriptions for patients with the MTHFR genetic polymorphisms: A case series study.
Article in Exploratory research in clinical and social pharmacy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Background: Over 48.5 million couples are reported with infertility worldwide. Health policy recommends folic acid in women of childbearing age, particularly in preconception and pregnancy which results in women purchasing over-the-counter prenatal multivitamins containing folic acid through pharmacies and other retail outlets. Emerging studies are investigating whether other forms of supplemental folate are more suitable, particularly for those with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( Methods: Australian practitioners were invited to complete a retrospective case report form for patients that presented with unexplained infertility. This case report form documented the form and dose of folate that practitioners were prescribing to their infertility patient with MTHFR polymorphisms, together with their fertility history. Results: Six practitioners submitted case information for 12 patients with diagnosed infertility and Conclusion: This case series has highlighted clinical practices that vary from the recommendations by Australian policy. Further research is required to verify the clinical importance of variations in folate prescriptions for women with
