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 Thr241Met polymorphism in XRCC3 gene may affect the DNA repair pathways and be associated with the risk of cancer. However, the results of previous studies are inconsistent in Chinese mainland populations. The objective of this study is to investigate the association between the Thr241Met polymorphism in XRCC3 gene and risk of cancer for the Chinese Mainland populations by meta-analysis. We searched PubMed database, Embase database, CNKI database, and Wanfang database, and the last search was updated on July 24, 2013. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan4.2 and Stata10.0 software. Finally, a total of 23 case-control studies in 23 articles were included. The results suggested a significant association between the Thr241Met polymorphism in XRCC3 gene and cancer risk in Chinese mainland populations (Met/Met + Thr/Met vs. Thr/Thr: OR = 1.25, 95 % CI = 1.02-1.54, P = 0.04). In the subgroup analyses by cancer types, significant associations were found in cervical cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. The current meta-analysis suggested that the Thr241Met polymorphism in the XRCC3 gene may be a risk factor for cancer in Chinese mainland populations. In the future, more case-control studies are needed to validate these results.
