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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between GSTP1 polymorphisms and prognosis of osteosarcoma in patients treated with chemotherapy, by performing a meta-analysis.

methodsThe studies of effects of GSTP1 gene polymorphisms on osteosarcoma survival after chemotherapy were collected. STATA (version 12.0) was used to perform data synthesis.

resultsSix studies involving 898 participants were included. A meta-analysis was performed on studies in GSTP1 313A>G(rs1695) assessing the association between tumor response and the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (AA vs AG, AA vs GG), the pooled odds ratios (ORs) were 2.06 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48-2.86, P=0.628, I (2)=0.0%). There was significant association between the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (AA vs AG, AA vs GG) and the events that happened, the pooled ORs were 1.86 (95% CI: 1.14-3.06, P=0.034, I (2)=58.6%), and there was significant association between the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (AA vs AG, AA vs GG) and survival times (overall survival and progression-free survival) in osteosarcoma patients treated with chemotherapy, and the pooled ORs were 2.14 (95% CI: 1.51-3.04, P=0.675, I (2)=0.0%) and 2.77 (95% CI: 1.56-4.91, P=0.347, I (2)=9.3%), respectively. Two studies assessed the association of polymorphisms in GSTP1 I105V (IIe/IIe vs IIe/Val, IIe/IIe vs Val/Val) with overall survival in human osteosarcoma. The pooled ORs were 1.20 (95% CI: 0.64-2.27, P=0.010, I (2)=73.5%). The study showed an insignificant difference in overall survival for the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (IIe/IIe vs IIe/Val, IIe/IIe vs Val/Val).

conclusionThis meta-analysis indicated that GSTP1 polymorphisms might influence osteosarcoma risk and suggests that GSTP1 polymorphisms may be an important risk factor for osteosarcoma.
