MDM2 T309G polymorphism and esophageal cancer risk: a meta-analysis.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) has suggested to play an important role in esophageal cancer. The association between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and esophageal cancer risk was inconclusive. To clarify the possible association, we conducted a meta-analysis. We searched in the PubMed, Embase, and Wanfang databases. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association. A total of 6 studies with 4909 cases and controls were included based on the search criteria. The MDM2 T309G polymorphism was associated with a significantly decreased risk of esophageal cancer (OR=0.88; 95% CI, 0.81-0.96; I(2)=22%). When stratified by type of race, a significantly decreased esophageal cancer risk were observed in Asians (OR=0.85; 95% CI, 0.78-0.93; I(2)=0%). In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that MDM2 T309G polymorphism was associated with a significantly decreased risk of esophageal cancer.
