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
backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) typically arises from acute pulmonary embolism. The pathogenesis of them involves multiple risk factors such as genetic predisposition. However, the findings from these studies are not entirely consistent. This study aims to investigate the association between FGA rs6050 polymorphism and susceptibility to thrombotic diseases.
methodsWe searched PubMed, OVID, Web of Science, Academic Search Ultimate, CNKI, and Wan Fang database. To assess the strength of associations, we calculated pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in different genetic models. Additionally, subgroup analyses, sensitivity analysis, and assessment of publication bias were also carried out.
resultsA total of 11 studies, including 9 reported results on VTE (3856 individuals [1545 cases]) and 3 on CTEPH (761 participants [350 cases]), revealed a significant association between the rs6050 polymorphism and susceptibility to both VTE and CTEPH. The A allele was consistently linked to an elevated risk of VTE across all genetic models (allele, homozygote, heterozygote, recessive, and dominant model), while it was also associated with an increased risk of CTEPH under all genetic models excluding the recessive model. Furthermore, subgroup analysis among ethnic groups revealed a significant association between rs6050 polymorphisms and VTE in both Caucasians and Asians under all genetic models. In Africans, the association with VTE was only observed for rs6050 polymorphisms in dominant and heterozygous models.
conclusionsThe FGA rs6050 polymorphism is positively associated with susceptibility to VTE and CTEPH.
