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

Many published data on the association between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and sarcoma risk showed inconclusive results. The present study was designed to derive a more precise estimation of this connection among Caucasians. We conducted a literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CNKI databases for case-control studies examining the association between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and sarcoma risk. The meta-analysis was performed using STATA 12.0 software. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to measure the strength of any association. The results of this meta-analysis did not provide statistical evidence for significant sarcoma risk associated with p53 codon 72 polymorphism (OR(Arg/Arg vs. Pro/Pro) = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.80-1.26, P(heterogeneity) = 0.980; OR(Arg/Arg + Arg/Pro vs. Pro/Pro) = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.83-1.19, P(heterogeneity) = 0.990; OR(Arg/Arg vs. Arg/Pro + Pro/Pro) = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.89-1.35, P(heterogeneity) = 0.532; OR(allele Arg vs. allele Pro) = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.90-1.18, P(heterogeneity) = 0.883; OR(Arg/Pro vs. Pro/Pro) = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.71-1.27, P(heterogeneity) = 0.919). We also did not find significant links in further subgroup analyses by ethnicity, control source, and sarcoma type. The present meta-analysis of currently available data suggests that the p53 codon 72 polymorphism may not play a role in sarcoma development in Caucasians.
