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
backgroundSporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by continuous diminution of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Earlier studies indicated that the DPP6 gene variant has a role in the development of sALS. This meta-analysis was designed to uncover the role of rs10260404 polymorphism of the DPP6 gene and its association with sALS.
methodsAll case-control articles published prior to October 2022 on the association between DPP6 (rs10260404) polymorphism and sALS risk were systematically extracted from different databases which include PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar. Overall odds ratios (ORs) and "95% confidence intervals (CIs)" were summarized for various genetic models. Subgroup and heterogeneity assessments were performed. Egger's and "Begg's tests were applied to evaluate publication bias. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) and false-positive report probability (FPRP) were performed.
resultsNine case-control studies containing 4202 sALS cases and 4444 healthy controls were included in the meta-analysis. A significant association of the DPP6 (rs10260404) variant with an increased sALS risk in overall pooled subjects under allelic model [C allele vs. T allele, OR = 1.149, 95% CI (1.010-1.307), p-value = 0.035], dominant model [CC + CT vs. TT, OR = 1.165, 95% CI (1.067-1.273), p-value = 0.001], and homozygote comparison [CC vs. TT, OR = 1.421, 95% CI (1.003-2.011), p-value = 0.048] were observed. Moreover, in subgroup analysis by nationality, remarkable associations were detected in Dutch, Irish, American, and Swedish under allelic, dominant, and homozygote models. Additionally, stratification analysis by ethnicity exhibited an association with sALS risk among Caucasians and Americans under different genetic models. Interestingly, none of the models found any significant association with Asians.
conclusionThe present meta-analysis indicates that DPP6 (rs10260404) polymorphism could be a candidate risk factor for sALS predisposition.
