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

Inconsistent results are often found regarding the risk of genetic variants in lung cancer association studies. To alleviate these conflicts, we performed a large-scale meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of variants on lung cancer in East Asian population (Han Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). Forty-three genetic variants with data from at least three independent case-control studies were under investigation of which two variants (rs1800734 in hMLH1, rs2273953-rs1801173 bi-marker in P73) were first meta-analyzed in East Asians. We found that three variants in CYP1A1, GSTM1, and XRCC1 showed consistently significant associations with lung cancer in mixed analysis and stratified analysis, and several variants showed diverse effects interacting with different environmental factors in stratified analysis. Our study presents a comprehensive and systematic analysis of lung cancer association studies in East Asians and confirms the effect of three variants in lung cancer risk. Additionally, result from stratified analysis suggests the importance of inclusion of environmental factors, such as smoking and tumor histology, in the analysis.
