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

backgroundThe survivin polymorphisms have been shown to confer genetic susceptibility to various tumors, but the results are inconsistent. In order to accomplish a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed.

resultsFor rs9904341, a significantly increased tumor risk was found in overall meta-analysis under C/C vs. G/G (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.13-1.74, p = 0.002), dominant (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.01-1.38, p = 0.039) and recessive (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.13-1.58, p = 0.001) genetic models and Asians group. In subgroup analyses of tumor types, we found a significant association between this SNP and an increased risk of gastric, colorectal, bladder and other tumors as well as a decreased risk of hepatocellular cancer. For rs17878467, a significantly decreased tumor risk was identified in overall meta-analysis for allele contrast (T vs. C: OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.51-0.92, p = 0.012), C/T vs. C/C (OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.42-0.88, p = 0.009) and dominant (OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.43-0.88, p = 0.007) genetic models and Asians group. For rs2071214, we found a significant association between this SNP and an increased tumor risk in overall meta-analysis under G/G vs. A/A (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.04-2.18, p = 0.029) and recessive (OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.07-2.22, p = 0.020) genetic models and Asians group. Besides, there was a significant association of rs8073069 with an increased tumor risk under recessive genetic model (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.01-1.84, p = 0.040), while no significant association between rs1042489 and tumor risk was detected.

conclusionsThe survivin rs9904341 most likely contributed to increased susceptibility to tumor in Asians as well as to gastric, colorectal and bladder cancers. As for rs17878467, the T allele might be a protective factor for tumor, especially in Asians. Moreover, the survivin rs8073069 and rs2071214 seemed to be associated with an increased tumor risk in Asians, while there was no association between the survivin rs1042489 and tumor risk.
