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 receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), a member of immunoglobulin superfamily, has been proved to stimulate survival, growth, and metastatic spread of cancers cells. Evidence suggested that the 82G/S, -374T/A, and -429T/C polymorphisms in RAGE promoter region might affect the risk of cancer; however, data from epidemiological studies showed conflicting results that remain to be further clarified. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation of 82G/S, -374T/A, and -429T/C polymorphisms and risk of cancer. A comprehensive electronic search was conducted for articles published up until December 2, 2014, in Medline (PubMed), Embase, the Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. A total of 12 case-control articles were included in this meta-analysis, providing 3,374 cases and 3,757 controls for 82G/S, 2,936 cases and 3,338 controls for -374T/A, and 2,882 cases and 3,279 controls for -429T/C specifically. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated to evaluate the associations with risk of cancer. Overall, we observed significantly increased risk of cancer in relation to 82G/S (A vs. G: OR 1.321, 95 % CI 1.164-1.499, P het 0.028; AA vs. GG: OR 1.823, 95 % CI 1.541-2.157, P het < 0.001; AG vs. GG: OR 1.399, 95 % CI 1.120-1.746, P het 0.002; GA+AA vs. GG: OR 1.470, 95 % CI 1.187-1.821, P het 0.002; AA vs. GG+AG: OR 1.416, 95 % CI 1.158-1.732, P het 0.107) and reduced risk of cancer in relation to -374T/A (AA vs. TT: OR 0.818, 95 % CI 0.686-0.976, P het 0.025; A vs. T: OR 0.908, 95 % CI 0.840-0.981, P het 0.014). In subgroup analysis for 82G/S, a significantly elevated cancer risk was indicated in the population of Asian and patients with lung cancer, and for -374T/A, reduced risk was indicated in population of Caucasian and patients with lung cancer and breast cancer. But no significant association was observed between -429T/C and risk of cancer. Thus, this meta-analysis revealed that 82G/S polymorphism is associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer, while -374T/A polymorphism is associated with a reduced risk of cancers.
