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

Many studies have reported the relationship between CXCL12 G801A polymorphism and cancer risk, with conflicting results. In this study, we tried to clarify the possibility that this polymorphism may increase cancer risk by conducting an updated meta-analysis. PubMed and EMbase were searched for case-control studies regarding the association of the gene polymorphism and cancer risk. Data were extracted and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association. Heterogeneity among articles and publication bias was also assessed. Significantly increased risk for cancer was found (A vs. G: OR=1.26, 95% CI=1.13-1.40, P<0.01; AA+AG vs. GG: OR=1.33, 95% CI=1.16-1.52, P<0.01). In subgroup analysis, statistically elevated cancer risk was found in both Asian and Caucasian populations (for Asian, AA+AG vs. GG: OR=1.74, 95% CI=1.22-2.47, P<0.01; for Caucasian, AA+AG vs. GG: OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.09-1.42, P<0.01). Our result indicated that CXCL12 G801A polymorphism is a risk factor for cancer. To validate the finding, further large-size case-control studies are warranted.
