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

backgroundThe ICAM-1 +469 A/G polymorphism has been implicated in susceptibility to cancer, but the results were inconclusive. The present meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between the ICAM-1 +469 A/G polymorphism and cancer risk.

methodsWe searched PubMed, Embase to identify studies that evaluated the association between the ICAM-1 +469 A/G polymorphism and cancer risk. Data were extracted and statistical analysis was performed by using the software Revman 5.1 and STATA 12.0.

resultsA total of 14 studies involving 9375 subjects were included. The results suggested that ICAM-1 +469 A/G polymorphism had no associated with cancer risk (OR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.76-1.08, P=0.27 for GG+AG vs. AA). Subgroup analysis by cancer type indicated the there was no associated between this polymorphism and breast cancer (OR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.72-1.15, P=0.43 for GG+AG vs. AA), but it was associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer (OR=0.59, 95% CI: 0.41-0.85, P=0.005 for GG+AG vs. AA). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity revealed a decreased risk of cancer among Caucasians (OR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.78-0.99, P=0.03 for GG+AG vs. AA)

conclusionThe evidence from current meta-analysis doesn't support the ICAM-1 +469 A/G polymorphism as a risk factor for cancer. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.
