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

Several studies have assessed the association of CD95L polymorphism with cervical cancer risk, but the data lack the power to provide compelling evidence. In this study, we aimed to clarify the association through a meta-analysis. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The fixed-effects model was used to calculate odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). A total of five papers with six case-control studies were derived and finally included in this meta-analysis. The overall estimate did not reveal any significant association between CD95L -844C/T polymorphism and cervical cancer risk. Subgroup analysis in Asian population indicated nonsignificant nevertheless potentially increased risk in CC genotype carriers in comparison with the carriers of CT+TT genotypes (ORCC vs. CT+TT=1.16, 95 % CI=0.99-1.36, P for heterogeneity=0.231). Based on current epidemiological studies, this meta-analysis suggests that CD95L polymorphism may not be a risk factor contributing to cervical cancer development.
