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

We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to determine the association between XPD/ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism and melanoma susceptibility. Based on comprehensive searches of the MEDLINE, EMBASE and ISI Web of knowledge, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database, we identified eligible studies about the association between XPD/ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism and melanoma risk. A total of 5,961 cases and 8,669 controls in studies were included in this meta-analysis. All studies were conducted in Caucasian populations. Allele model (Lys vs. Gln: P = 0.53; OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.91-1.05), and homozygous model (Lys/ Lys vs. Gln/Gln: P = 0.32; OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.81 to 1.07) did not show increased risk of developing melanoma. Similarly, dominant model (Lys/ Lys+Lys/Gln vs. Gln/Gln: P = 0.18; OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.83 to 1.03) and recessive model (Lys/ Lys vs. Lys/Gln+Gln/Gln: P = 0.73; OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.88 to 1.09) failed to show increased risk of developing melanoma. Our pooled data suggest that there was no evidence for a major role of XPD/ERCC2 Lys751Gln polymorphism in the pathogenesis of melanoma among Caucasian populations.
