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
backgroundHereditary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy is commonly caused by the Val122Ile variant, a mutation found in non-Hispanic individuals of West African descent but understudied among the Hispanic/Latino (H/L) population, despite their admixed genetic ancestry (African ancestry [AA], European ancestry [EA], and Amerindian ancestry) and heterogeneous AA proportions within disaggregated backgrounds.
objectivesThis study aimed to determine Val122Ile variant prevalence among community-dwelling H/L adults and disaggregated background groups; to evaluate associations with genetic continental ancestry; and to characterize echocardiographic phenotype.
methodsWe analyzed cross-sectional data from 12,687 H/L adults (aged 18-74) in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos cohort (2008-2011), who consented to genome-wide studies and continental ancestry ascertainment. Echocardiograms were analyzed among 6,376 Hispanics/Latinos ≥44 years. Complex survey analysis, logistic regression, and survey weights were employed.
resultsIn the HCHS/SOL (Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos), 0.82% of H/Ls carried the Val122Ile variant. H/Ls of Dominican descent had the highest Val122Ile variant prevalence (2.60%) compared to other background groups. Even though Val122Ile carriers had a higher fraction of AA than noncarriers (0.38 vs 0.15, P < 0.0001), their highest fraction of continental ancestry was EA (0.42 ± 0.04). A 1% increase in AA raised Val122Ile variant odds by 4% (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.03-1.06), while a 1% increase in EA or Amerindian ancestry lowered the odds by 3% (OR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.96-0.99) and 2% (OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97-0.99), respectively. No differences were observed in the echocardiographic phenotype of Val122Ile carriers vs noncarriers.
conclusionsThe Val122Ile variant prevalence varied depending on AA proportions among H/Ls and was seen more commonly among Dominicans, highlighting opportunities for preventative hereditary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy screening.
