Height and kidney cancer risk: a meta-analysis of prospective studies.
Synthesis in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to summarize the available evidence from prospective studies on the association between height and kidney cancer risk.
methodsRelevant studies were identified through the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases up to July 2014, as well as through the references from the retrieved articles. Relative risks (RRs) from individual studies were pooled by using a random-effects model.
resultsA total of fourteen prospective studies of adult height and kidney cancer risk with 18,766 cases were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, per 10-cm increase in height was associated with an increased risk of kidney cancer (RR 1.23; 95 % confidence interval 1.18-1.28, I(2) = 11.8 %). Subgroup analysis showed a basically consistent result with the overall analysis. There was no evidence of publication bias.
conclusionsHigh adult height was positively associated with the risk of kidney cancer in both men and women in this meta-analysis. Future prospective studies are needed to determine the generalizability of these findings to non-Caucasians.
