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

The potentially functional polymorphism, rs31489, in the promoter region of cleft lip and palate transmembrane protein 1 (CLPTM1L) gene has been implicated in cancer risk. However, individual published studies showed inconclusive results. To obtain a more precise estimate of the association between CLPTM1L rs31489 and risk of lung cancer, we performed a meta-analysis. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random-effects models. Ten individual case-control studies in eight publications with 20,680 cases and 28,330 controls were included. Overall, the variant genotypes were associated with a significantly increased lung cancer risk in different genetic models (CC + AC vs. AA: OR=1.20, 95 % CI 1.12-1.28, P<0.001; CC vs. AC + AA: OR=1.15, 95 % CI 1.07-1.23, P<0.001; CC vs. AA: OR=1.28, 95 % CI 1.17-1.41, P<0.001; CC vs. AC: OR=1.11, 95 % CI 1.05-1.17, P<0.001; C vs. A: OR=1.12, 95 % CI 1.06-1.18, P<0.001). In the stratified analyses, the increased lung risk remained for the studies of Caucasian populations. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that CLPTM1L rs31489 was a potential biomarker for lung cancer risk in Caucasians.
