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

Previous studies have investigated the associations between FEN1 -69G>A (rs174538) and 4150G>T (rs4246215) polymorphisms and cancer risk in Chinese population. However, the results were controversial. We therefore carried out a meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the associations. PubMed Database was systematically searched to identify potentially eligible literatures. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of associations between FEN1 -69G>A and 4150G>T polymorphisms and cancer risk in Chinese population. A total of 4 articles, including 5,108 cases and 6,382 controls, were used to evaluate the effect of the two polymorphisms on cancer risk. The pooled ORs indicated that FEN1 -69G>A and 4150G>T polymorphisms were significantly associated with cancer risk in Chinese population. In stratified analyses by cancer type, significant associations were also observed in digestive system cancer. In addition, haplotypes consisting of -69G>A and 4150G>T polymorphisms were closely associated with cancer risk. Interestingly, significantly correlation between FEN1 -69G>A polymorphism and mRNA expression was observed. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that FEN1 -69G>A and 4150G>T polymorphisms may be associated with cancer susceptibility in Chinese population. However, further investigation on large population and different ethnicities are warranted.
