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

backgroundThe association of glutathione s-transferase P1 (GSTP1) Ile105Val polymorphism with risk of esophageal cancer (EC) has been evaluated in many studies; however, the results from these studies are controversial. Thus, further analysis on association between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and risk of EC is needed among a larger study population.

methodWe searched the relevant electronic databases and performed a meta-analysis based on 21 published case-control studies. The Chi-square based I(2)-statistic test was performed to evaluate possible heterogeneity across the studies. Additionally, random-effects models were used to calculate crude pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsOverall, this meta-analysis did support a significant association between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and risk of EC (pooled OR 1.25, 95% CI, 1.05-1.49). Furthermore, the stratified analysis showed that, in comparison to GSTP1 Ile105Val Ile/Ile genotype, the Val/Val genotype was significantly associated with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (pooled OR 1.45, 95% CI, 1.07-1.96), particularly in the Caucasian population (pooled OR 1.41, 95% CI, 1.01-1.95). Such a significant association was not observed for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) patients or subjects of an Asian ethnicity. Moreover, substantial evidence of heterogeneity among the studies was not observed.

conclusionThe results from this meta-analysis support a significant association between the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and risk of EC, particularly in a subgroup with ESCC and in the Caucasian population. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate our findings.
