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

Case-control studies on the association between mouse double-minute 2 homolog (MDM2) SNP309T>G polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma have provided either controversial or inconclusive results. To clarify the effect of MDM2 SNP309T>G polymorphism on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, a meta-analysis of all case-control observational studies was performed. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) for various polymorphisms were estimated using random and fixed effects models. The Q-statistic was used to evaluate the homogeneity, and Egger and Begg tests were used to assess publication bias. Overall, the MDM2 SNP309T>G polymorphism was associated with a risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.54-0.85 for allele contrast, p = 0.0005, phet = 0.004). The contrast of homozygotes and the recessive and dominant models produced the same pattern of results as the allele contrast. In the analysis stratified by ethnicity, significant associations were found in the Caucasian population in all of the genetic models. In addition, heterogeneity disappeared in subgroups of Caucasian subjects. Our pooled data suggest evidence for a major role of MDM2 SNP309T>G polymorphism in the carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma, especially among Caucasian populations.
