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 common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs10795668, located at 10p14, was first identified to be significantly associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) by a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 2008; however, another GWAS and following replication studies yielded conflicting results.

methodsWe conducted a case-control study of 470 cases and 475 controls in a Chinese population and then performed a meta-analysis, integrating the current study and 9 publications to evaluate the association between rs10795668 and CRC risk. Heterogeneity among studies and publication bias were assessed by the χ²-based Q statistic test and Egger's test, respectively.

resultsIn the case-control study, significant association between the SNP and CRC risk was observed, with per-A-allele OR of 0.71 (95%CI: 0.54-0.94, P = 0.017). The following meta-analysis further confirmed the significant association, with per-A-allele OR of 0.91 (95%CI: 0.89-0.93, P(heterogeneity) >0.05) in European population and 0.86 (95%CI: 0.78-0.96, P(heterogeneity) <0.05) in Asian population. Besides, sensitivity analyses and publication bias assessment indicated the robust stability and reliability of the results.

conclusionsResults from our case-control study and the followed meta-analysis confirmed the significant association of rs10795668 with CRC risk.
