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

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been reported to influence susceptibility to breast cancer. However, published findings on the association between VDR Cdx2 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility are conflicting. To get a precise estimation of the association between VDR Cdx2 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility, we conducted a meta-analysis of four case-control studies with a total of 8,880 subjects (3,841 cases and 5,039 controls). The results showed that VDR Cdx2 polymorphism was not associated with risk of breast cancer (A versus G: OR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.84-1.09; AA versus GG: OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.64-1.45; AA/GA versus GG: OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.80-1.10; AA versus GG/GA: OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.65-1.51). Subgroup analysis in Caucasians also showed that VDR Cdx2 polymorphism was not associated with risk of breast cancer in Caucasians. However, there was a significant association in Africans (A versus G: OR = 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.94; AA versus GG: OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.29-0.99; AA/GA versus GG: OR = 0.75, 95% CI 0.57-0.97). Therefore, the association between VDR Cdx2 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility is only found in Africans. More studies are needed to further assess the association in Asians or Africans.
