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

The C8092A polymorphism in the ERCC1 (excision repair cross-complementation group 1) gene was shown to be associated with breast carcinoma risk. However, the results of different studies remain controversial. A meta-analysis including 3,308 cases and 3,242 controls from eight studies was performed to explore the association between the C8092A polymorphism in the ERCC1 gene and breast cancer risk. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were evaluated by the random effects model. No significant association was detected in an allelic genetic model (OR: 1.081, 95% CI: 0.994-1.175, P=0.068, Pheterogeneity=0.331), a homozygote model (OR: 1.213, 95% CI: 0.926-1.589, P=0.160, Pheterogeneity=0.071), a heterozygote model (OR: 1.061, 95% CI: 0.958-1.176, P=0.256, Pheterogeneity=0.950), a dominant genetic model (OR: 1.082, 95% CI: 0.981-1.193, P=0.113, Pheterogeneity=0.816) and a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.181, 95% CI: 0.904-1.543, P=0.223, Pheterogeneity=0.060) between the C8092A polymorphism in the ERCC1 gene and breast tumor. A significant relationship between the C8092A polymorphism in the ERCC1 gene and breast tumor in Caucasian group was found in a homozygote genetic model (OR: 1.353, 95% CI: 1.009-1.815, P=0.044, Pheterogeneity=0.516) and a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.339, 95% CI: 1.004-1.785, P=0.047, Pheterogeneity=0.532). Individuals with the C8092A polymorphism in the ERCC1 gene have a higher risk of breast cancer in Caucasians, but not for Asians.
