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

Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is involved in the metabolic activation of various carcinogens. CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphism has been identified in urologic cancer patients, while studies of the polymorphism have shown inconclusive trends in the risk of urologic cancers. Therefore, we performed this systematic review to provide a complete picture and conducted a meta-analysis to derive a precise estimation. We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science to identify eligible studies up to December 15, 2014. 12 studies with 2712 cases and 2977 controls were included in the meta-analysis.The odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the strength of associations. We observed that the c2 allele of CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of urologic cancer under all genetic models (c2 vs. c1: OR = 0.742, 95% CI = 0.659-0.835); c2c2 vs. c1c1: OR = 0.516, 95% CI = 0.357-0.745; c1c2 vs. c1c1: OR = 0.748, 95% CI = 0.748 (0.648-0.863; c2c2 + c1c2 vs. c1c1: OR = 0.722, 95% CI = 0.629-0.829; c2c2 vs. c1c1 + c1c2: OR = 0.578, 95% CI = 0.401-0.832). In the subgroup analysis by cancer type, statistically significant associations were found in urothelial cancer in all genetic models. When stratified by ethnicity, a same trend was also indicated in Asians in all genetic models.To conclude, our results support the conclusion that the CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphism may be associated with urologic cancer susceptibility. The c2 allele is a low-penetrance risk factor for urologic cancer development.
