The rs7003908 (T>G) polymorphism in the XRCC7 gene and the risk of cancers.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The association between the rs7003908 (T>G) polymorphism in the XRCC7 gene and the risk of cancers had been widely studied; however, the results were inconsistent. The objective of the current study was to investigate the association between the rs7003908 polymorphism in the XRCC7 gene and the risk of cancers by meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, EMbase, CNKI and Wanfang databases; the last search was performed on January 10th, 2014. Statistical analysis was performed using the Revman4.2 and STATA10.0 softwares. A total of 3,684 cancer cases and 5,232 controls from 11 case-control studies were included for data analysis. In the dominant model analysis, the results suggested a lack of association between the polymorphism and the risk of cancers: OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.83-1.16, P = 0.70. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, no significant association was found either for Asians or Caucasians. In the subgroup analysis by cancer types, significant association was found for prostate cancer, but not for bladder cancer, breast cancer and glioma. In summary, the current meta-analysis confirmed that the rs7003908 polymorphism in the XRCC7 gene might be a risk factor for prostate cancer. In the future, more studies are needed to validate these results.
