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

backgroundThe hOGG1 gene encodes a DNA glycosylase enzyme responsible for DNA repair. The Ser326Cys polymorphism in this gene may influence its repair ability and thus plays a role in carcinogenesis. Several case-control studies have been conducted on this polymorphism and its relationship with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among East Asians. However, their results are inconsistent.

methodsWe performed a meta-analysis of published case-control studies assessing the association of the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism with HCC risk among East Asians. PubMed, EMBASE, SCI, BIOSIS, CNKI and WanFang databases were searched. A random-effect model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Analyses were conducted for additive, dominant and recessive genetic models.

resultsEight studies were identified involving 2369 cases and 2442 controls assessing the association of the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism with HCC risk among East Asians. Applying a dominant genetic model, only in the Chinese population, the Cys allele was significantly associated with increased risk of HCC (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.12-2.17). However, two studies influenced this finding according to sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, considerable heterogeneity and bias existed among Chinese studies.

conclusionThere is limited evidence to support that the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism is associated with HCC risk among East Asians. Well-designed and large-sized studies are required to determine this relationship.
