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

Available epidemiological studies had estimated the correlation between glutathione S-transferases P1 (GSTP1) Ile105Val polymorphism and esophageal cancer (EC) risk. However, the conclusions were controversial and inconclusive. An updated meta-analysis was conducted to explore whether GSTP1 polymorphism could be contributed to the EC risk. Ultimately, a total of 2,992 cases and 4,758 controls from 20 previous studies were included. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were used to assess the strength of the associations. Pooled results suggested that GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism significantly increased the risk of developing EC in Caucasians under three genetic models (G vs. A, OR 1.146, 95 % CI 1.031-1.275, P = 0.012, I(2) = 30.40 %; GA vs. AA, OR 1.208, 95 % CI 1.036-1.408, P = 0.016, I(2) = 50.30 %; GG+GA vs. AA, OR 1.219, 95 % CI 1.053-1.410, P = 0.008, I(2) = 44.50 %). However, no significant correlation was found in Asians, African and mixed ethnicities analyses. Moreover, similar results were detected for any genetic model in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma when stratifying for pathologic types. This meta-analysis provides new evidences that GSTP1 Ile105Val gene polymorphism contributes to EC susceptibility in Caucasians.
