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

purposeTo evaluate the association of the ABCA1 rs1883025 polymorphism and susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

methodsA systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and ISI web of science databases was performed to identify eligible published studies without language restrictions up to September 2015. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated under different genetic models using meta-analytic methods. Stratified analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to explore potential sources of heterogeneity.

resultsA total of 12 articles with 25,445 cases and 36,460 controls were eligible in this meta-analysis. The ABCA1 rs1883025 variant showed significant association with the lower risk of overall AMD under the allelic model (OR= 0.81, 95   %   CI=0.74-0.89). Stratified analysis based on ethnicity demonstrated a strong association between rs1883025 polymorphism and AMD in the Caucasian population, but not in Asian population. For late AMD, the ABCA1 rs1883025 variant was observed to have a significant association with the lower risk of this disease (OR = 0.81, 95 % CI, 0.72-0.91). In early-stage AMD, significant associations of the rs1883025 polymorphism with lower risk of early AMD were observed in different genetic models (OR ranging from 0.45 to 0.65, all P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe present meta-analysis indicated that the T allelic in rs1883025 variant was significantly associated with the risk of developing AMD, particularly at the early stage. The associations of the ABCA1 locus with AMD risk in various populations need further exploration.
