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

The ER-α gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with uterine leiomyoma (ULM) risk. The purpose of the present study was to perform a meta-analysis to explore the polymorphisms in the ER-α gene and the risk of ULM. A comprehensive search for relevant articles was conducted in MEDLINE (Ovid), PubMed, Embase, Springer, EBSCO, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, and Google Scholar. A total of nine articles were identified. Among the nine articles, 11 cohorts reported the PvuII polymorphism and six reported the XbaI polymorphism. The strength of the relationships between the polymorphisms in ER-α (PvuII and XbaI) and the risk of ULM was assessed by odds ratios (ORs). The studies provided overall OR estimates for PvuII and XbaI, leading to a pooled OR of 1.41 (PP+Pp vs. pp: OR = 1.41, 95 % confidence interval (95 %CI) = 1.02-1.96, P = 0.04), 1.13 (XX+Xx vs. xx: OR = 1.13, 95 %CI = 0.91-1.41, P = 0.25), respectively. The PvuII polymorphism in the ER-α gene may be a risk factor for ULM. Future studies are needed to validate our conclusions.
