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

NAT2 plays a critical role in external chemical detoxification. Thus, polymorphism of NAT2 has been suggested to associate with several disorders. A number of studies have been devoted to the relationship between NAT2 polymorphism and asthma risk. However, the results were inconclusive. In this study we aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the association. A literature search in the common databases was conducted and then meta-analyses evaluating the association of NAT2 polymorphism and asthma risk were performed. Eligible studies were identified for the period up to May 2013. A total of five case-control studies containing 946 cases and 1,091 controls were lastly included for analysis. The overall data showed that slow acetylators of NAT2 might have an association with increased asthma risk (OR 2.20; 95% CI 1.31-3.72). The pooled data suggest that slow acetylators of NAT2 might contribute to asthma risk among Caucasians. Future studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.
