Association between angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer: a meta analysis.

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.
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
backgroundAngiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cancers. The association between ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and the risk of various cancers has been studied. However, the results of these studies remain conflicting. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and the risk of cancers.
methodsPubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Springer, CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, CBM databases and Google Scholar were searched for case-control studies on ACE I/D polymorphism and the risk of cancers, published up to Dec 31, 2013. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and cancer risk.
resultsThirty-five published studies with 5007 cases and 8173 controls were included. Overall, there were no significant association between ACE I/D polymorphism and the risk of cancers (II vs. ID+DD OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.89-1.23, I vs. D OR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.89-1.13). However, when stratified by ethnicity, we found a significant association between this polymorphism and cancer risk in Caucasians (II vs. ID+DD: OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.02-2.00, I vs. D: OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49).
conclusionACE I/D polymorphism is associated with the cancer risk in Caucasians.
