An increased risk of ovarian cancer associated with polymorphism in BRCC5 gene in Caucasian populations.
Synthesis in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 reports on the association between the BRCC5 gene polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk have been published recently, but the estimates of the risk vary widely. We thus performed a meta-analysis in an effort to determine the association. To identify the eligible studies, we searched the PubMed, Embase, and CNKI databases, and reviewed all original studies retrieved as well as their citations. The risk of ovarian cancer was estimated using odds ratio (OR) and its 95 % confidence interval (CI). Meta-analysis of seven comparisons revealed an obvious rise in the risk of ovarian cancer under the CC vs. GG contrast model (OR = 1.52, 95 % CI = 1.07-2.16, P OR = 0.020). A similar increase was also indicated in the CC vs. GC + GG model (OR = 2.10, 95 % CI = 1.51-2.93, P OR < 0.001). Our meta-analysis indicates that the BRCC5 polymorphism may be a candidate modifier of ovarian cancer risk in Caucasians.
