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

We evaluated the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in smokers. A meta-analysis of the published case-control studies was performed. Published literature was retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), with last update in February, 2011. Data were extracted and a fixed- or random-effects model was used to calculate pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals depending on statistical heterogeneity. Fourteen eligible studies, comprising 1,665 COPD cases and 1,614 controls, were included in the meta-analysis. The combined analyses showed that there was a significant difference in GSTM1 genotype distribution between COPD cases and controls among Caucasians, but not among Asians. The combined GSTM1/GSTT1 null genotype conferred a 1.36-fold greater risk for COPD in Asian smokers. The GSTT1 null genotype alone was not associated with enhanced risk for COPD. The GSTM1 null genotype is significantly associated with an increasing susceptibility to COPD in Caucasian smokers, but not in Asian smokers. The GSTM1/GSTT1 null genotype is a significant risk factor for developing COPD in Asian smokers. The GSTT1 null genotype, however, was not associated with COPD.
