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

During the past decade, a number of studies were published to evaluate the association between murine double minute 2 (MDM2) T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer. However, the association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer was still unclear owing to the conflicting results from those published studies. An undated meta-analysis of all eligible studies was carried out to comprehensively assess the association. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (95% CI) was used to evaluate the association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer. Finally, ten studies with a total of 2,243 cases and 3,471 controls were finally included into the meta-analysis. Overall, there was an association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer (G vs. T: OR=1.39, 95% CI 1.17-1.64, P<0.001; GG vs. TT: OR=1.87, 95% CI 1.34-2.62, P<0.001; GG/GT vs. TT: OR=1.61, 95 % CI 1.24-2.08, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis in Europeans showed that there was also an association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer in Europeans (G vs. T: OR=1.81, 95% CI 1.45-2.27, P<0.001; GG vs. TT: OR=3.26, 95% CI 1.99-5.32, P<0.001; GG/GT vs. TT: OR=2.20, 95% CI 1.58-3.07, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis in Asians showed that there was also an association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer in Asians (G vs. T: OR=1.27, 95% CI 1.06-1.52, P=0.010; GG vs. TT: OR=1.59, 95% CI 1.11-2.27, P=0.011; GG/GT vs. TT: OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.07-1.87, P=0.016). The meta-analysis provides a strong evidence for the association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and risk of liver cancer.
