N-acetyltransferase 2 status and gastric cancer risk: 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. Cited by 4 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
Case-control studies on the association between N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genotype and gastric cancer have provided either controversial or inconclusive results. In order to clarify the influence of NAT2 acetylation status on gastric cancer risk, a meta-analysis was undertaken. The primary outcome measure was the odds ratio (OR) for the risk of gastric cancer associated with the NAT2 genotype. The overall result showed that there was no statistically significant association between NAT2 status and gastric cancer risk (slow acetylation vs. rapid acetylation, OR = 1.10, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.97-1.25, p = 0.12). In the analysis stratified by East Asian ethnicity, a significant association was found between gastric cancer and the NAT2 genotype (slow acetylation vs. rapid acetylation, OR = 1.33, 95 % CI 1.11-1.59, p = 0.002). Our pooled data suggest that the NAT2 acetylation status has an effect on the risk of gastric cancer among East Asian populations.
