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

purposeThe P53-MDM2 pathway plays a central role in sarcoma pathogenesis. Functional P53 Arg72Pro and MDM2 T309G single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are considered to have significant effects on risk of sarcomas.

methodsSeveral molecular epidemiology studies have evaluated how these genetic variants are involved in sarcoma development, but the conclusions are inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to systematically examine the association between these functional SNPs and sarcoma risk.

resultsThere are four studies eligible for P53 Arg72Pro SNP (466 sarcoma patients and 552 controls), and three studies for MDM2 T309G SNP (355 sarcoma patients and 645 controls). Pooled odds ratios were appropriately calculated using either fixed-effect model or random-effect model. We did not find a significant association between P53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and sarcoma risk. However, in a stratified analysis, a statistically significant correlation between this SNP and osteosarcoma risk was observed. For MDM2 T309G variant, pooled results from the meta-analysis indicate that carriers of TG and GG genotypes showed a 34% increased risk to develop sarcomas compared to TT carriers.

conclusionThese results suggest that the functional MDM2 T309G genetic variant may play a more important role in carcinogenesis of sarcoma.
