1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo evaluate the association between X-ray cross-complementing gene 1 (XRCC1) genetic polymorphism Arg399Gln and gastric cancer risk by means of meta-analysis.

methodsWe searched PubMed and NCBI up to June 1, 2008. A total of 16 clinical trials and reports were identified, but only 8 trials qualified under our selection criteria. Statistical analysis was performed with the software program Review Manage, version 4.2.8.

resultsOf the 8 case-control studies selected for this meta-analysis, a total of 1334 gastric cancer cases and 2194 controls were included. For Arg399Gln, the Gln/Gln genotype carriers did not have a decreased cancer risk compared with those individuals with the Arg/Arg genotype (OR = 0.92, 95% CI, 0.71-1.19; P = 0.51). Similarly, no associations were found in the recessive and dominant modeling (Gln/Gln vs Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 0.96; 95% CI, 0.77-1.19; P = 0.70 and Gln/Gln + Arg/Gln vs Arg/Arg: OR = 0.90, 95% CI, 0.77-1.05; P = 0.18).

conclusionNo association is found between the XRCC1 polymorphism Arg399Gln and gastric cancer risk.
