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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common complex disease caused by the combination of genetic variants and environmental factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been performed and reported some novel CRC susceptibility variants. The rs16892766 (8q23.3) polymorphism was first identified to be significantly associated with CRC in European ancestry. The following studies investigated this association in Chinese, Japanese, Romanian, Swedish, African American, European American, and Croatian populations. These studies reported consistent and inconsistent results. Here, we reevaluated this association using the relatively large-scale samples from 13 studies (N = 59737, 26237 cases and 33500 controls) using a meta-analysis by searching the PubMed, Google Scholar and CRCgene databases. We observed no significant heterogeneity among the included studies. Our results showed significant association between rs16892766 polymorphism and CRC (P = 1.33E-35, OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.20-1.27). Collectively, our analysis further supports previous findings that the rs16892766 polymorphism is significantly associated with CRC susceptibility. We believe that our findings will be very useful for future genetic studies on CRC.
