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

The X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 3 (XRCC3) gene is a member of the RAD51 gene family. It encodes an important protein that functions in the homologous recombination repair of DNA double-strand break. In this study, our aim was to explore the relationship between XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Performing both the overall meta-analysis and subgroup meta-analysis based on ethnicity, source of controls, and cancer location with a total of 6 eligible studies (1,154 cases and 1,487 controls in all), we detected no significant gastric cancer risk variation for all genetic models in the overall analysis and in the subgroup analysis based on cancer location. What is interesting is in the subgroup analysis based on ethnicity, where significantly decreased gastric cancer risk was observed for recessive model in Asians (OR=0.69, 95% CI=0.50-0.95), while significantly increased gastric cancer risk was detected for dominant model in Caucasians (OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.01-2.08). In summary, according to the results of our meta-analysis, the XRCC3 T241M polymorphism might influence gastric cancer risk oppositely in Asians and Caucasians.
