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

backgroundGenetic polymorphism of human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) Ser326Cys (rs1052133) has been implicated in the risk of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC). However, the published findings are inconsistent. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the association between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and ESCC risk. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

findingsA comprehensive search was conducted to identify eligible studies of hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and the risk of the ESCC. Three English and two Chinese databases were used, and ten published case-control studies, including 1987 cases and 2926 controls were identified. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association in the dominant and recessive model. Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) and standard error (SE) were used to assess the number of Cys allele and ESCC risk in the additive model. Overall, significant associations between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and ESCC risk were found in the recessive model: OR = 1.37 (95% CI: 1.06-1.76, p = 0.02). We also observed significant associations in the Caucasian, Chinese language, population based control and tissue subgroups. In the additive model, positive correlation was found between the number of Cys allele and the risk of ESCC in overall studies (PCC = 0.109, SE = 0.046, p = 0.02), Caucasian subgroup and population subgroup. Funnel plot and Egger's test indicate there was no publication bias in this meta-analysis.

conclusionUnder the published data, the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism is associated with ESCC risk in the recessive and additive model. Compared with the Ser/Ser and Ser/Cys genotype, Cys/Cys genotype might contribute to increased risk of ESCC. And the risk of ESCC is positively correlated with the number of Cys allele. A better case-control matched study should be designed in order to provide a more precise estimation.
