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

To date, case-control studies on the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms and follicular lymphoma have provided controversial results. To clarify the effect of MTHFR polymorphisms on the risk of follicular lymphoma, a meta-analysis of all case-control studies was performed. The fixed effects and random effects model showed that the C677T polymorphism was associated with a risk of follicular lymphoma among Caucasian populations, and A1298C polymorphism was associated with a risk of follicular lymphoma among Asian populations. Our pooled data suggest evidence for a major role of MTHFR polymorphisms in the carcinogenesis of follicular lymphoma.
