FAS-1377 A/G polymorphism in breast cancer: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
FAS is a cell surface receptor involved in apoptotic signaling in many cell types including cells of the immune system. The -1377 A/G polymorphism of FAS gene has been detected in breast cancer. However, the published evidence regarding the -1377 A/G polymorphism and breast cancer risk has generated controversial results. We performed a meta-analysis of five case-control association studies totaling to 5,995 study subjects including 2,905 cases and 3,090 controls. The combined odd ratios (ORs) with its 95% CIs were used to assess the association of the -1377 A/G polymorphism correlated with breast cancer susceptibility with the fixed-effects model. The combined results showed significantly increased risk associated with the -1377 A/G polymorphism under AA vs. GG genetic model (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.04-1.58; heterogeneity test: P = 0.614, I (2) = 0.0%), AA vs. GA + GG genetic model (OR = 1.24, 95 CI = 1.02-1.51; heterogeneity test: P = 0.349, I (2) = 10.0%), and allele model A vs. G (OR = 1.10, 95%CI = 1.02-1.20; heterogeneity test: P = 0.422, I (2) = 0.0%). Similarly, significant association was found in Asians. In stratified analyses by control source, a higher risk was indicated in the hospital-based studies rather than the population-based studies. This meta-analysis suggests that the -1377 A/G polymorphism is likely to be associated with the risk of breast cancer, especially the A allele in Asians.
