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 data regarding the association between the APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility showed inconclusive results. This meta-analysis of literatures was performed to draw a more precise estimation of the relationship. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Elsevier, and Springer for relevant articles published before December 10. 2013. The strength of association between APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility was assessed by odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) using the software Stata (version 10.0). A total of 7 case-control studies including 3,460 cases and 3,909 controls were included for analysis. Overall, no significant associations were found between the APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility for GG vs TT (OR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.87-1.14); TG vs TT (OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.95-1.18); the dominant model GG + TG vs TT (OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.94-1.16) and the recessive model GG vs TG + TT (OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.88-1.11). In subgroup analysis, a significant association was found for TG vs TT in Asian subgroup (OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.00 ~ 1.36) and in population-based subgroup (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.00 ~ 1.38). This meta-analysis suggested that the APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism was a risk factor for breast cancer susceptibility among Asian population.
