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

Published data on the association between interleukin-17F (IL-17F) rs763780 polymorphism and asthma susceptibility are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of this association, a meta-analysis was performed. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases to identify eligible studies. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the strength of association. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of individual studies on the overall effect estimates and funnel plots were inspected for indication of publication bias. Seven studies with a total of 4200 subjects were finally identified. Overall, we found no significant association between IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism and asthma susceptibility (G vs. A: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.81-1.44, P = 0.62; GA vs. AA: OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.84-1.47, P = 0.47; GG + GA vs. AA: OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.79-1.44, P = 0.65). After categorizing studies into different subgroups on the basis of ethnicity and age, there remained no significant association (all P > 0.05). Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the stability of our results and publication bias was not evident. The present meta-analysis, combining all currently available data, suggests that IL-17F rs763780 polymorphism is not associated with the susceptibility of asthma.
