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

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, but its etiology is still unclear. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) plays an essential role in oxidative stress and may be involved in the development of lung cancer. The association between SOD2 C47T polymorphism and lung cancer risk has been widely investigated, but the results of previous studies are contradictory. We conducted a meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the association between SOD2 C47T polymorphism and lung cancer. The association was estimated by odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI). A total of 10 studies with 5,146 cases and 6,173 controls were identified. The results showed that SOD2 C47T polymorphism was significantly associated with lung cancer (T versus C: OR = 0.88, 95 % CI = 0.83-0.93, P < 0.001; TT versus CC: OR = 0.74, 95 % CI = 0.66-0.83, P < 0.001; TT versus CC/CT: OR = 0.81, 95 % CI = 0.73-0.89, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity suggested that SOD2 C47T polymorphism was significantly associated with lung cancer in both East Asians and Caucasians. Conclusively, this meta-analysis strongly suggests that SOD2 C47T polymorphism is significantly associated with lung cancer.
