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

The apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) plays important roles in the repair of DNA damage and adducts. However, previous case-control studies on the association between the APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism and prostate cancer susceptibility have shown contradictory results, this meta-analysis was performed to draw a more precise estimation of the relationship. A total of seven case-control studies including 1,294 cases and 1,762 controls were included for analysis. In overall, no significant associations were found in all genetic models (GG vs. TT: OR = 1.16, 95 % CI 0.89-1.52; TG vs. TT: OR = 1.04, 95 % CI 0.81-1.35; the dominant model GG + TG vs. TT: OR = 1.12, 95 % CI 0.96-1.30; the recessive model GG vs. TG + TT: OR = 0.90, 95 % CI 0.77-1.04); in the subgroup by source of control, we found a significant association for the dominant model in Hospital-based subgroup (OR = 1.34, 95 % CI 1.08-1.68), no significant associations were found in other models in the subgroups. This meta-analysis suggested that the APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism was a risk factor for prostate cancer susceptibility in Hospital-based population.
