Association between regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 polymorphism and susceptibility to glioma.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundGlioma is the most devastating type of malignant brain tumors in adults. Genetic factors play important roles in the pathogenesis of glioma. In recent years, some studies found that there were significant association between regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 rs6010620 polymorphism and glioma susceptibility, however, the results were controversial. The aim of this study was to obtain a more exact estimation of the association between regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 rs6010620 polymorphism and glioma through a meta-analysis.
methodsThe meta-analysis included 19 published case-control studies involving 8541 cases and 14226 controls. The included papers were searched from PubMed and Embase database. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to evaluate the association of regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 rs6010620 polymorphism with glioma.
resultsA significant association between regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 rs6010620 polymorphism and glioma susceptibility was observed for GG vs. AA+AG (OR=1.28, 95% CI=1.14-1.43) and G vs. A (OR=1.07, 95% CI=1.03-1.10). Further subgroup analysis based on ethnicity showed similar results in Asians and Caucasians. In the subgroup analysis of source of control, a significant association between the G allele and glioma susceptibility were found in population-based group and hospital-based group.
conclusionsThe meta-analysis suggested that regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 rs6010620 polymorphism was a risk factor for glioma. And this study also suggested that rs6010620 GG genotype and G allele may be indicators for the risk of glioma.
