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

objectivePrevious studies indicated that the relationship between lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene polymorphisms and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) remains inconsistent. In the present study, we aimed to perform a meta-analysis to investigate the association of LOXL1 polymorphisms with POAG risk.

methodsLiteratures were electronically searched in the PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases. The published literatures, which are case-control or cohort studies on the relationship between the polymorphisms (rs1048661, rs3825942, rs2165241) of the LOXL1 gene and POAG, were documented.

resultsWe included 13 literatures including 5,293 subjects for the present study. A meta-analysis showed that the risk of POAG in individuals carrying the C allele of rs2165241 was 1.26 times higher compared with those carrying the T allele (odds ratio (OR)=1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09~1.46) in the total population. In the Caucasian population, we also found that individuals carrying the C allele of rs2165241 have an increased risk for POAG compared to those subjects carrying the T allele (OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.19~1.69, p=0.0001). In addition, we found that the rs1048661 polymorphism was associated with POAG in the Asian population (OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.02~1.35, p=0.03), and rs3825942 was associated with POAG in the Caucasian population (OR=2.69, 95% CI: 1.61~4.47, p<0.001).

conclusionsThe polymorphisms of the LOXL1 gene were associated with the susceptibility of POAG.
