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

The aim of this study is to assess the association of the SCGB3A2 -112G>A promoter polymorphism with Graves' disease(GD) using a meta-analysis. Relevant studies were identified using PubMed and EMBASE electronic databases. A meta-analysis of relevant studies was performed. This meta-analysis included four case-control studies, containing 6,913 GD cases (Caucasian 3904, Han 3009) and 7,185 controls(Caucasian 4155, Han 3030). The combined results showed a significant difference in genotype distribution (-112A/G) between GD and control populations (A vs. G P = 1.53 × 10(-7); GG vs. AA+AG P = 6.78 × 10(-9)). Meta-analysis was performed using a fixed-effects model. Under the dominant model (GG/AA + GA), the AA and GA genotypes were significantly associated with GD (pooled OR = 1.24, 95 % CI 1.12-1.37). When the two European studies are combined, the AA and GA genotypes were also significantly associated with GD (pooled OR = 1.29, 95 % CI 1.20-1.39). This meta-analysis suggests that SCGB3A2 polymorphism at positions -112G>A was associated with GD both in Chinese and Caucasian population.
