Association between APE1 T1349G polymorphism and prostate cancer risk: evidence from a meta-analysis.
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. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 papers.
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
APE1 T1349G polymorphism was considered to be associated with risk of cancer, but studies on the association between APE1 T1349G polymorphism and risk of prostate cancer remained inconclusive. A meta-analysis of published studies was performed to precisely assess the association between APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism and prostate cancer risk. PubMed, Embase, and Wanfang databases were searched for published case-control studies investigating the association between APE1 T1349G polymorphism and prostate cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association. Overall, seven studies with a total of 3,063 individuals were finally included into the meta-analysis. The heterogeneity analysis did not find obvious heterogeneity among those included studies. Meta-analysis of total seven studies did not find an obvious association between APE1 T1349G polymorphism and prostate cancer risk (G vs T OR (95 % CI) = 1.11 (0.99-1.24); GG vs TT OR (95 % CI) = 1.25 (0.96-1.62); TG vs TT OR (95 % CI) = 1.11 (0.95-1.30); GG/TG vs T OR (95 % CI) = 1.13 (0.97-1.32); GG vs TT/TG OR (95 % CI) = 1.16 (0.91-1.48)). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity showed that APE1 T1349G polymorphism was associated with increased risk of prostate cancer in Caucasians (G vs T OR (95 % CI) = 1.26 (1.02-1.56), P = 0.033; TG vs TT OR (95 % CI) = 1.44 (1.06-1.94), P = 0.019; GG/TG vs T OR (95 % CI) = 1.45 (1.08-1.94), P = 0.013). The meta-analysis suggests that APE1 T1349G polymorphism is associated with increased risk of prostate cancer, especially in Caucasians. More studies are needed to further identify the obvious association above.
