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

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) was suggested as an important contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The GSTs polymorphisms have been investigated as candidate genetic risk factors for AD, yet results remained uncertain. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify the relationship of GSTs polymorphisms with the occurrence of AD. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library and Alzgene databases were searched and potential literatures were selected. Pooled analyses and subgroup analyses were conducted, and also publication bias tests and cumulative meta-analysis. This meta-analysis suggested null associations between polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTM3, GSTP1, GSTO1 and AD risk. GSTs variants may not have an impact on the morbidity of Alzheimer's disease. Further well designed researches are required to confirm these findings of the current study.
