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

objectiveTo determine the correlation between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and polymorphisms of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes MMP-1 and MMP-3.

backgroundThe 1607 1G/2G and 1171 5A/6A polymorphisms of MMP genes MMP-1 and MMP-3 have been discovered to be functional, and may be conducive to RA. In order to determine whether MMP-1 and MMP-3 gene polymorphisms correlate with RA development, we performed a meta-analysis to further validate the function of these polymorphisms in RA.

methodsWe searched PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE, Embase, Google Scholar Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang Data to identify all published case-control studies on the MMP-1-1607 1G/2G and MMP-3-1171 5A/6A polymorphisms and RA risk. Odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate the association between these polymorphisms and RA risk.

resultsAfter being assessed, five articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. To assess associations, the pooled OR with 95 % CIs was calculated. Neither the MMP-1-1607 1G/2G nor the MMP-3-1171 5A/6A polymorphism was statistically associated with RA in any of the five models, nor in the subgroup analysis models of MMP-3-1171 5A/6A in Caucasian and Asian patients.

conclusionOur study suggests that MMP-1 and MMP-3 polymorphisms have no significant association with the risk of RA.
