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

backgroundA lot of studies have investigated the correlation between x-ray cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms and bladder cancer risk, but the results in Asian population were still inconclusive. We conducted a meta-analysis to ascertain the association of XRCC1 Arg194Trp, Arg280His and Arg399Gln polymorphisms with bladder cancer risk in Asian population. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

findingsThe association strength was measured with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). A total of 9 eligible studies, conducted in China, India and Japan, were identified. We observed a significant increased risk of bladder cancer in dominant model (OR = 1.199, 95% CI: 1.021,1.408, Pheterogeneity = 0.372), allele comparison (OR = 1.200, 95% CI: 1.057,1.362, Pheterogeneity = 0.107) of Arg194Trp, heterozygote comparison (OR = 1.869, 95% CI: 1.205,2.898, Pheterogeneity = 0.011) and dominant model (OR = 1.748, 95% CI: 1.054,2.900, Pheterogeneity = 0.01) of Arg280His. Pooled results estimated from adjusted ORs further validated these findings. No publication bias was detected. Subgroup analyses found that significant increased risk was only found among community-based studies not hospital-based studies. There was no evidence of publication bias.

conclusionThis is the first meta-analysis conducted in Asian investigating the correlation between XRCC1 polymorphisms and susceptibility to bladder cancer. Our meta-analysis shows that XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms are associated with a significantly increased risk of bladder cancer in Asian population.
