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

X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) plays an important role in the maintenance of the genomic integrity. Previous studies on the association between XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and prostate cancer risk reported conflicting results. To get a more precise assessment of the association between XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and prostate cancer risk, we performed a meta-analysis of previously published studies. Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases. Nine studies with a total of 5,407 subjects were finally included into the meta-analysis. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was used to assess the association. Overall, there was no obvious association between XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and prostate cancer risk (Trp vs. Arg: OR = 1.02, 95%CI 0.84-1.25, P = 0.824; TrpTrp vs. ArgArg: OR = 1.17, 95%CI 0.83-1.66, P = 0.374; TrpTrp/ArgTrp vs. ArgArg: OR = 1.00, 95%CI 0.79-1.28, P = 0.990; TrpTrp vs. ArgArg/ArgTrp: OR = 1.20, 95%CI 0.85-1.68, P = 0.301). Subgroup analysis according to ethnicity also detected no significant association in both Asians and Caucasians. In conclusion, the meta-analysis suggests that there is no obvious association between XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and prostate cancer risk.
