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

Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7 (SMAD7) rs12953717 polymorphism has been implicated to alter the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the results are controversial. The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the association between SMAD7 rs12953717 polymorphism and CRC susceptibility. A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all eligible studies of SMAD7 rs12953717 polymorphism and CRC risk. Pooled odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated using a fixed or random effects model. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.0 and Stata 11. A total of 11 case-control studies, including 12,058 cases and 11,444 controls, were identified. The combined results based on all studies suggested that rs12953717 was associated with CRC risk under all genetic models. When stratifying for race, the data showed that the rs12953717 was associated with a significantly increased CRC risk under all genetic models in Caucasians. Statistically significant association was found in all genetic models except in recessive model comparison in the subgroup of Asians. After stratifying the studies by study design, there was a significant association between rs12953717 polymorphism and CRC risk under all genetic models in the subgroup of population-based studies. Our study suggests that rs12953717 polymorphism is associated with an increased CRC risk.
