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

backgroundSeveral epidemiological studies have previously investigated the association between the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) susceptibility; however, current results are inconsistent. We therefore performed this meta-analysis to thoroughly investigate any association among Asian patients.

methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed and Embase databases was performed up to December 2013. We only considered studies consisting of patients diagnosed with OSCC by pathological methods. Statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.2 software and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association.

resultsA total of 11 case-control studies involving 2,298 OSCC patients and 2,111 controls were included. We found no association between the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and OSCC susceptibility [(OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.48-1.22) for Arg vs. Pro; (OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.31-1.43) ArgArg vs. ProPro; (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.97-1.35) ArgPro vs. ProPro; (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.53-1.34) (ArgPro + ArgArg) vs. ProPro; or (OR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.34-1.23) for ArgArg vs. (ProPro + ArgPro)]. However, subgroup analysis demonstrated an association between the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and human papillomavirus (HPV)-related OSCC patients. Although statistical heterogeneity was detected, there was no evidence of publication bias.

conclusionsCurrent results suggest that the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism is not associated with OSCC in Asians without the presence of HPV infection. Further research is necessary to determine if such a relationship exists in HPV-related OSCC patients.
