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 results from the published studies on the association between leptin (LEP) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. The common A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism has been reported to be functional and may contribute to genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, the association between LEP A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains inconclusive. To better understand the role of LEP A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism in global cancer, we conducted this comprehensive meta-analysis encompassing 5,679 cases and 7,443 controls. Overall, the LEP A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism was associated with lower cancer risk. In the stratified analysis, significant associations were found between the LEP A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism and colorectal cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. For colorectal cancer, there was no significant association of LEP A19G (rs2167270) variant with this disease under heterozygous codominant model [odds ratio (OR) = 1.11 (0.97-1.27)], dominant genetic model [OR = 1.03 (0.91-1.17)], and additive genetic model [OR = 0.94 (0.86-1.03)]; however, there was a marginal association under homozygous codominant model [OR = 0.80 (0.66-0.97)] and recessive genetic model [OR = 0.75 (0.63-0.90)]. For non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, there was a significant association of LEP A19G (rs2167270) variant with the disease under homozygous codominant model [OR = 0.74 (0.59-0.94)], recessive genetic model [OR = 0.76 (0.61-0.94)], and additive genetic model [OR = 0.89 (0.80-0.99)], but not under heterozygous codominant model [OR = 0.95 (0.82-1.10)] and dominant genetic model [OR = 0.91 (0.79-1.04)]. Moreover, a significantly decreased cancer risk was found in recessive genetic model among Latin American population. When stratified by study design, significantly elevated susceptibility to cancer was not found among any studies. No significantly differences in genotype method and sample size in cases were found among genotypes. These findings suggest that the LEP A19G (rs2167270) genetic polymorphism may decrease the susceptibility to cancers in colorectal cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, when assuming a homozygote codominant model and a recessive genetic model among Latin American population. The phenomenon also indicates that the SNP functions as a recessive mutation, which needs to be verified or linked with functional studies.
