Association between β2-Adrenergic Receptor-16Arg/Gly Gene Polymorphism and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Risk:Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of public health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe association between β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) -16Arg/Gly polymorphism (rs1042713) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk has been investigated in many published studies. However, the results were inconclusive. A meta-analysis was performed to make a more precise estimation of the relationship.
methodsThe PubMed, EMBASE, ISI web of science, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, CBM, VIP) were searched for published literature. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the strength of association.
resultsEleven studies, comprising 1,128 COPD patients and 1,182 controls, were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, there was no significant association between the ADRB2-16Arg/Gly polymorphism and COPD risk in general population. In the stratification analysis by potential confounding variables, significant associations were observed between the ADRB2-16Arg/Gly polymorphism and COPD risk among smoking Asians under the dominant genetic model and allele model (Arg vs. Gly) (dominant model: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.04-2.01, P = 0.311 for heterogeneity, z = 2.22, P = 0.026 for OR; allele model: OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.03-1.57, P = 0.209 for heterogeneity, z = 2.20, P = 0.028 for OR), but not in other subgroups.
conclusionThis meta-analysis suggested that the ADRB2-16Arg/Gly polymorphism might be a potential risk factor for the development of COPD in smoking Asian populations, but not in European descendents, and tobacco smoking probably increased the genetic susceptibility. More studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate the results.
