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

objectivePublished studies on the association between NCF4 rs4821544T/C polymorphism and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk in Caucasian have yielded conflicting results. The present study aimed to provide more reliable conclusions by conducting a meta-analysis.

methodsAll eligible studies were extracted from Wiley Online Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed databases. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the associations between rs4821544T/C polymorphism and IBD risk in Caucasian.

resultsA total of 13 case-control studies comprising 7441 Crohn's disease (CD) patients, 2565 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and 8315 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Significant associations were found between CD and the rs4821544T/C polymorphism in three genetic models (C vs T: OR = 1.11, 95 % CI: 1.06, 1.16, P = 0.000; CC vs TT: OR = 1.31, 95 % CI: 1.18, 1.45, P = 0.000; CC/TC vs TT: OR = 1.07, 95 % CI: 1.01, 1.13, P = 0.014; CC vs TC/TT: OR = 1.28, 95 % CI: 1.16, 1.42, P = 0.000). However, significant associations were not found in UC under any genetic models (C vs T: OR = 1.04, 95 % CI: 0.97, 1.11, P = 0.264; CC vs TT: OR = 1.10, 95 % CI: 0.93, 1.30, P = 0.284; TC vs TT: OR = 1.04, 95 % CI: 0.95, 1.13, P = 0.429; CC/TC vs TT: OR = 1.04, 95 % CI: 0.95, 1.13, P = 0.390; CC vs TC/TT: OR = 1.07, 95 % CI: 0.91, 1.26, P = 0.409).

conclusionThis meta-analysis suggested that the rs4821544T/C polymorphism was associated with CD, but not UC in Caucasian.
