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

aimOur aim was to investigate the relationship between transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) polymorphisms and breast cancer susceptibility.

methodsPubMed, Embase and CNKI databases were used to search the related studies investigating the correlation between TCF7L2 polymorphisms and breast cancer susceptibility. Pooled ORs and 95% CIs, based on five genetic models, were applied to estimate the association betweenTCF7L2 polymorphisms and breast cancer. A fixed-effect model or a random-effect model was applied according to the between-study heterogeneity.

resultsWe analyzed six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TCF7L2 gene, namely rs12255372, rs7903146, rs7900150, rs3750805, rs1225404 and rs7003146. The increased risk of breast cancer was associated with TCF7L2 polymorphisms (22 vs. 11: OR=1.16, 95% CI=1.02-1.32; 22+12 vs. 11: OR=1.06, 95% CI=1.02-1.10; 22 vs. 11+12: OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.04-1.27; 2 vs. 1: OR=1.07, 95% CI=1.02-1.13; 12 vs. 11: OR=1.05, 95% CI=1.01-1.09). Among the locus, rs7903146 polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk for breast cancer under five genetic models (TT vs. CC: OR=1.29, 95% CI=1.08-1.53; TT+CT vs. CC: OR=1.09, 95% CI=1.01-1.18; TT vs. CC+CT: OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.05-1.48; T vs. C: OR=1.11, 95% CI=1.04-1.19; CT vs. CC: OR=1.08, 95% CI=1.00-1.17). Additionally, rs7900150 also showed effects on the susceptibility of breast cancer (TT vs. AA: OR=1.22, 95% CI=1.07-1.39; TT+AT vs. AA: OR=1.06, 95% CI=1.00-1.14; TT vs. AA+AT: OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.07-1.37; T vs. A: OR=1.09, 95% CI=1.02-1.15; AT vs. AA: OR=1.04, 95% CI=1.01-1.33). Meanwhile, we found that rs3750805 polymorphism could increased the risk for breast cancer (TT+AT vs. AA: OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.01-1.24).

conclusionOur meta-analysis demonstrates that TCF7L2 polymorphisms may increase the risk for breast cancer.
