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

Adiponectin gene polymorphisms have been implicated in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) development. However, results from previous studies were inconsistent and inconclusive. To shed some light on the relationship of two adiponectin gene polymorphisms, T45G and G276T, with PCOS, we conducted the current meta-analysis. PubMed was used for searching all eligible studies up to September 30, 2011. Odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was adopted to evaluate the strength of the associations. In total, ten case-control studies involving 2,821 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Results showed that the T45G polymorphism was not associated with PCOS for allelic contrast (OR = 1.10, 95%CI: 0.83-1.44, P = 0.514), with evidence of large heterogeneity (P(heterogeneity) = 0.002). Concerning G276T polymorphism, the results showed that the T allele was related to a reduced risk of PCOS compared with the G allele under allelic genetic model (OR = 0.81, 95%CI: 0.70-0.93, P = 0.003), and no significant heterogeneity (P(heterogeneity) = 0.268) was revealed. Similar results were observed under additive, dominant and recessive genetic models for both of these two polymorphisms. No publication bias was detected. Our results suggested that the T45G polymorphism of adiponectin gene was not significantly associated with PCOS, while the G276T polymorphism was related to a decreased risk of PCOS.
