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 associations between GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in Chinese population have reported controversial results. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed.

methodsFour hundred and seven relevant records were identified through a literature search up to September 7, 2011, and 19 studies were finally included, involving a total of 3,130 CRC cases and 6,423 controls. Subgroup analyses were performed by language and study design. Statistical analysis was performed with the software programs Review Manager (version 5.1.2) and STATA (version 11.0).

resultsFor the GSTM1 polymorphism, the null genotype of GSTM1 was not associated with CRC risk in Chinese population (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.97-1.28). Similar associations were found for GSTT1 polymorphism (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.94-1.29) and the dual null genotype of GSTM1/GSTT1 (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 0.93-1.71). For subgroup analyses, studies published in English and population-based studies further identified these associations for the three aspects above in Chinese population.

conclusionsThis meta-analysis suggests that the null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 and the dual null genotype of GSTM1/GSTT1 were all not risk factors in CRC in Chinese population.
