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

Published data on the association between FAS -1,377 G/A polymorphism and cancer risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 17 studies including 10,564 cases and 12,075 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall, significantly elevated cancer risk was associated with AA variant genotype when all the eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis (for AA vs GG: OR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.01-1.40; P (heterogeneity) = 0.05; for recessive model: OR = 1.21; 95% CI = 1.04-1.41; P (heterogeneity) = 0.05). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, borderline statistically significantly increased risks were found among Asians for recessive model (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.00-1.45; P (heterogeneity) = 0.01). In the subgroup analysis by population-based controls or hospital-based controls, statistically significantly increased risks were found among groups with population-based controls for AA versus GG (OR = 1.27; 95% CI = 1.02-1.58; P (heterogeneity) = 0.05) and recessive model (OR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.00-1.59; P (heterogeneity) = 0.01). For breast cancer, borderline statistically significantly increased risks were found for AA versus GG (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.00-1.67; P (heterogeneity) = 0.41). In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that the FAS -1,377 G/A polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility.
