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 examine the association between XRCC3 C241T polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma risk, but their results were inconsistent. To assess the association between XRCC3 C241T polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma risk more precisely, a meta-analysis was performed. PubMed, Embase and Wanfang databases were searched for relevant case-control studies. Data were extracted, and the pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Finally, seven studies comprising 2,288 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma and 3,249 controls were included into the meta-analysis. Overall, there was an obvious association between XRCC3 C241T polymorphism and increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (TT versus CC: OR = 3.31, 95% CI 1.52-7.19, P = 0.003; TT versus CC/CT: OR = 3.31, 95% CI 1.81-6.06, P < 0.001). After adjusting for heterogeneity, there was still an obvious association between XRCC3 C241T polymorphism and increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (TT versus CC: OR = 1.92, 95 % CI 1.13-3.26, P = 0.016; TT versus CC/CT: OR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.25-3.55, P = 0.005). Overall, there is a significant association between XRCC3 C241T polymorphism and increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Further studies are needed to further assess the association in Caucasians.
