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

Previous reports have indicated that MDM2 T309G polymorphism might be a risk factor for various cancers. Increasing studies have been conducted on the association of MDM2 T309G polymorphism with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. However, the results remain inconclusive. Thus, the present study aimed to address this controversy by meta-analysis. Relevant literature up to Oct 2014 was searched and screened. Necessary information was rigorously extracted for data pooling and analyzing. Separate analyses on ethnicity, source of controls, sample size and P53 polymorphism status were also performed. As a result, eleven case-control studies were selected and the overall data indicated a significant association of MDM2 T309G polymorphism with HCC risk (GG vs. TT: OR=2.31; 95% CI=1.66-3.20; dominant model: OR=1.83; 95% CI=1.36-2.47; recessive model: OR=1.73; 95% CI=1.49-2.00). Similar results could be shown in the subgroups regarding ethnicity, source of controls and sample size. Interestingly, in the subgroup analysis regarding P53 codon 72 polymorphism, increased HCC risk could be observed in the Pro/Pro+Pro/Arg subgroup under a recessive model (OR=1.78; 95% CI=1.29-2.44). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that MDM2 T309G polymorphism might be a low-penetrant risk factor for HCC. Homozygous GG alleles might interact with Pro of P53 and thus confer the susceptibility to HCC.
