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

Superoxide dismutase, one of the antioxidant enzymes, plays an important role in defense against reactive oxygen species. Many previous studies reported the association between SOD2 polymorphism and the cancer risk but the results were divergent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between SOD2 polymorphism and the cancer susceptibility. We searched in Electronic database including Pubmed, Embase, google of scholar, and Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS) for this meta-analysis. Odds ratio (OR), 95 confidence interval (CI), and p value were calculated to evaluate the relation between SOD2 polymorphism and risk of cancer using Comprehensive Meta-analysis software (Corporation, NJ, USA). The fifty-two studies including 26,865 cancer cases and 32,464 control subjects were analyzed for meta-analysis. Our meta-analysis revealed that SOD2 polymorphism statistically increased or decreased the susceptibility of cancer. In the present study, we could find that SOD2 polymorphism was related to the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. It suggested that SOD2 polymorphism might be a candidate marker of cancer.
