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 xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XPG) gene plays an important role in the DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Several studies have investigated the association between the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism and breast cancer; however, the results have been inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of 8 published articles (10 case-control studies) including a total of 5,235 patients with breast cancer and 5,685 healthy controls. The results demonstrated that the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism was not associated with breast cancer in the overall population [His vs. Asp, odds ratio (OR)=1.00, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91-1.08; His/His vs. Asp/Asp, OR=0.96, 95% CI: 0.83-1.11; Asp/His vs. Asp/Asp, OR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.94-1.11; His/His+Asp/His vs. Asp/Asp, OR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.92-1.15; and His/His vs. Asp/Asp+Asp/His, OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.81-1.06]. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, no significant association was observed in European subjects. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism is not associated with breast cancer risk.
