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

purposeStudies investigating the association between excision repair cross-complimentary group 2 (ERCC2) polymorphisms and gastric cancer (GC) risk have reported conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis of published epidemiological studies to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship.

methodsPublished literature from PubMed, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure was retrieved. Ten studies with 2,141 GC cases and 5,343 controls were selected.

resultsNo association between ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism and GC susceptibility for all genetic models was found. When stratified by race, we found the Gln/Gln genotype carriers might be at high risk of GC among Asians, but not among Caucasians. Also, the pooled results showed there was a significant difference in genotype distribution between non-gastric cardia cancer cases and controls. For ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism, significantly elevated GC risk was associated with Asn/Asn genotype (AA vs. GG + GA: OR = 1.36, 95%CI = 1.04-1.77, P = 0.02). We also found this genotype was associated with GC susceptibility among Asians and subjects without Helicobacter pylori infection. No publication bias was found in the present study.

conclusionsThis meta-analysis concluded that both ERCC2 Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn polymorphisms might contribute to increased risk of GC among Asians.
