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

Many studies were published to evaluate the association between Nijmegen breakage syndrome 1 (NBS1) 657del5 polymorphism and breast cancer risk, but the results remained inconsistent. To derive a more precise estimation on the possible association, we performed a meta-analysis of previous published studies. Case-control studies on the association between NBS1 657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk were included into this meta-analysis. We used the odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) to assess the strength of the association. Ten studies with a total of 25,365 subjects were identified and included into this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of those ten studies showed that there was a significant association between NBS1 657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk (pooled OR = 2.66, 95 % CI 1.82-3.90, P < 0.001). The cumulative meta-analyses showed a trend of a more significant association between NBS1 657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk as data accumulated by publication year. Thus, our meta-analysis suggests that there was a significant association between NBS1 657del5 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk, and NBS1 657del5 polymorphism results in an increased risk of breast cancer.
