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.
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 association between the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 142285G > A polymorphism and the susceptibility to breast cancer is unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis of all published studies to estimate the association of EGFR 142285G > A polymorphism and breast cancer risk. Systematic computerized searching of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Wanfang databases was performed for relevant publications. Overall, there were three eligible case-control studies with 1,360 cases and 1,522 controls included into our study. The pooled ORs showed that the EGFR 142285G > A variant genotypes did not increase or decrease the risk of breast cancer under the following gene models: A vs. G, OR = 1.07, 95% CI 0.96-1.19, P OR = 0.240; AA vs. GG, OR = 1.14, 95% CI 0.91-1.42, P OR = 0.239; GA vs. GG, OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.83-1.17, P OR = 0.892; GA + AA vs. GG, OR = 1.03, 95% CI 0.87-1.21, P OR = 0.727; AA vs. GG + GA, OR = 1.17, 95% CI 0.97-1.42, P OR = 0.096. The between-study heterogeneity was not significant among all studies. The current meta-analysis showed no evidence for significant association between EGFR 142285G > A polymorphism and breast cancer risk. Subsequent studies with large sample size are needed for further elucidation.
