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

MicroRNAs are involved in several biological processes including cell apoptosis and proliferation, stress resistance, and fat metabolism, and act as tumor suppressors by malignant transformation of human cells. The aim of this study was to identify the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs11614913 and rs3746444 with lung cancer risk. In this meta-analysis with 2,219 cases and 2,232 controls for SNP rs11614913 and 1,685 cases and 1,690 controls for SNP rs3746444, we summarized five case-control studies by searching databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Lung cancer risk associated with the two SNPs was estimated by odd ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). SNP rs11614913 (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78-1.00 for TT vs. CT + CC) was found to be potentially associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer. However, we found no association between SNP rs3746444 and lung cancer risk. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, a negative association was also observed in Asians for SNP rs11614913, but a nonsignificant association for SNP rs3746444. Our meta-analysis provides evidence for potential protective effects on lung cancer risk associated with SNP rs11614913, particularly in Asian populations. Further, larger studies are necessary to validate the findings.
