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

purposeTo evaluate the association of polymorphisms in the 11q24.1 genomic region and the CTNND2 gene with myopia.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis included 6,954 cases and 9,346 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using Carlin's method. Publication bias was assessed using Egger et al.'s approach. Sensitivity, heterogeneity, and trim and fill analyses were also conducted.

resultsFor the 11q24.1 genomic region, the rs11218544 polymorphism showed significant association with myopia [OR and 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.167 (1.032-1.319), p=0.013], while rs577948 showed no association with the disease [OR and 95%CI: 0.988 (0.727-1.342), p=0.936]. For the CTNND2 gene, neither rs6885224 nor rs12716080 was significantly associated with myopia {rs6885224: [OR and 95%CI: 1.051 (0.795-1.391), p=0.725], rs12716080: [OR and 95%CI: 1.173 (0.990-1.390), p=0.065]}.

conclusionsOur study indicated that the 11q24.1 genomic region, and particularly the rs11218544 polymorphism, has a genetic association with the development of myopia.
