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

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play important roles in the detoxification of electrophilic carcinogens, and GSTM1 null genotype is associated with the dysfunction of GSTs. Previous studies investigating the association between GSTM1 null genotype and risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese provided inconsistent findings. To provide a more precise estimation on the association between GSTM1 null genotype and risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese population, a meta-analysis was performed. Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95 %CI) was used to assess the association. A total of 18 case-control studies involving 1,947 cases and 3,506 controls were finally included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of those 18 studies showed that GSTM1 null genotype was associated with an increased risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese (random effect model OR = 1.49, 95 %CI = 1.11-2.00, P = 0.008). The findings from cumulative meta-analysis showed that the association was more obvious as the data increased by publication year. There was no risk of publication bias in the meta-analysis. Therefore, the findings from our meta-analysis provide a strong evidence for the association between GSTM1 null genotype and risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese population, and GSTM1 null genotype contributes to increased risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese.
