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
Cleft lips and/or palates are common congenital anomalies with different prevalence across different populations and geographic regions. The present study analyzed the allelic and genotypic frequencies of the MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism in familial cleft lip and/or palate trios. This retrospective genetic family-based study was carried out in a population-specific background using samples collected from the data bank of 4,000 patient records from a high-volume craniofacial hospital. Forty familial case-parent trios (n = 120 subjects, 40 unaffected fathers, 40 unaffected mothers, and 40 affected children) were selected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, and genotyping of the MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism was carried out using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Allelic and genotypic frequencies were calculated using IBM Corp. Released 2020. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp., with descriptive statistical analyses applied. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the transmission disequilibrium test were performed using PLINK 1.9 (Purcell Lab, Harvard Medical School). The CC genotype was found to be the most common in all three groups (72.5% of fathers, 85.0% of mothers, and 90.0% of affected children), according to the genotype distribution of the MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism among the 40 case-parent trios. The CT genotype was observed in 27.5% of fathers, 15.0% of mothers, and 10.0% of affected children. The C allele was observed more commonly in mothers (92.5%), fathers (86.25%), and affected children (95.0%). The T allele was observed in 13.75% of fathers, 7.5% of mothers, and 5.0% of affected children. Transmission disequilibrium test analysis showed no statistically significant preferential transmission of the T allele (OR = 0.4, p = 0.1088), indicating no association. This study contributes to global data on ethnic variation, helping researchers compare populations and design more accurate, population-specific genetic studies.
