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

Published studies on the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1) G401A polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk have yielded conflicting results. In order to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between G401A polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk, the present meta-analysis was performed. All eligible studies on G401A polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk were collected from the PubMed and the Cochrane Library. Statistical analyses were performed by Review Manage 5.0 and Stata 11.0. Our analysis suggested that G401A polymorphism was not associated with ovarian cancer risk when using additive (odds ratio (OR) = 1.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.34-2.20, P < 0.0001), recessive (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.21-1.77, P < 0.0001), dominant (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.10-1.69, P = 0.004), and allelic models (OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.15-1.47, P < 0.0001) to analyze the data. This meta-analysis suggests that G401A polymorphism might not be a risk factor for ovarian cancer risk. However, further well-designed studies are required to confirm our findings.
