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

Previous studies published to evaluate the association between FAS A670G polymorphism and susceptibility to cervical cancer provided conflicting findings. A meta-analysis of published case-control studies was performed to get a comprehensive evidence for the possible association. We searched in PubMed and Wanfang databases for eligible studies published before February 10, 2013. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used to evaluate the association. Ten studies with a total of 4,904 participants were finally included into the meta-analysis. Overall, there was no obvious association between FAS A670G polymorphism and susceptibility to cervical cancer under all four genetic models (G versus A: OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.84-1.11, P = 0.64; GG versus AA: OR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.69-1.24, P = 0.60; GG/AG versus AA: OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.77-1.26, P = 0.92; GG versus AA/AG: OR = 0.92; 95% CI 0.68-1.25, P = 0.59). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity further showed that there was no association between FAS A670G polymorphism and susceptibility to cervical cancer in both Caucasians and Asians. There was no risk of publication bias. In summary, the meta-analysis suggests that there is no association between FAS A670G polymorphism and susceptibility to cervical cancer in both Caucasians and Asians.
