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

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), and T1 (GSTT1) genetic polymorphism and susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) using meta-analysis method.

methodsData of published case-control studies on the relationship between GSTT1, GSTM1 genetic polymorphism and susceptibility to NPC were collected from EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, China Academic Journals Full-text Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang Database. Meta-analysis was conducted using Revman 5.2 software.

resultsNine studies were included for meta-analysis with a total of 1295 cases of NPC patients and 1967 control individuals. Meta-analysis showed that the risk of NPC was significantly higher in population with GSTM1 gene deletion (OR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.42-1.65; P<0.001). Similarly, the risk of NPC was significantly higher in Chinese population with GSTM1 gene deletion (OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.18-1.62; P<0.001). We did not find association between GSTT1 gene deletion and NPC risk not only in total population (OR=1.32, 95% CI: 0.92-1.87; P=0.12), but in Chinese population (OR=1.41, 95% CI: 0.97-2.04; P=0.07).

conclusionGSTM1 genetic polymorphism, but GSTT1, is associated with susceptibility to NPC.
