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

The XRCC3 gene has been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of leukemia risk. But the findings of publications are contradictory. To derive a more precise estimation of the association, we performed a meta-analysis. The PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were searched for case-control studies published up to August 2013. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by using a fixed- or random-effect model. A total of 15 case-control studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected. The pooled OR showed that there was no statistically significant association between XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism and leukemia risk in overall including studies, while a risky association was observed for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (dominant model TT/TC vs. CC: OR = 1.240, 95% CI = 1.018-1.511, P = 0.032). The XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism might be associated with risk of leukemia in AML. More studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate this result.
