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

purposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism on the risk of cervical cancer.

methodsA comprehensive search of EMBASE, PubMed, Wanfang database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was conducted and the papers published were retrieved. The fixed effects or random effects model was appropriately used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsData from sixteen articles containing nineteen studies were summarized in this meta-analysis. In general, we observed a marginal association between the TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism and cervical cancer risk under the AA + AG vs. GG comparison model (OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.00-1.38, P=0.019 for heterogeneity). Interestingly, significantly increased risk was observed in the allele model (A vs. G: OR=1.19, 95% CI=1.02-1.38, P=0.006 for heterogeneity). In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, we found significant results in Caucasians.

conclusionsOur results reveal that the Caucasian population may be at increased risk of developing invasive cervical cancer associated with the TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism.
