Association of MDM2 promoter T309G polymorphism with oral cancer risk: A meta-analysis of 3,536 subjects.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) gene is an important regulator of the p53 suppressor gene. To date, evidence concerning the association of the MDM2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 309T>G (rs2279744) with the risk of developing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains controversial. Therefore, a meta-analysis of all the eligible studies was performed, in order to derive a more precise estimation of this association. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the degree of association in 5 previous studies, including a total of 1,369 OSCC cases and 2,167 controls. The overall analysis revealed a significant association between MDM2 SNP309 and OSCC risk in the heterozygote (TG vs. TT: OR=0.81; 95% CI: 0.68-0.96; P=0.02) and dominant models (TG+GG vs. TT: OR=0.82; 95% CI: 0.69-0.97; P=0.02). The subgroup analysis based on the source of the controls revealed a significant association between population-based controls and the heterozygote model (TG vs. TT: OR=0.75; 95% CI: 0.62-0.91; P=0.004), dominant model (TG+GG vs. TT: OR=0.76; 95% CI: 0.63-0.91; P=0.003) and allele comparison (G vs. T: OR=0.89; 95% CI: 0.79-0.99; P=0.04). Importantly, no evidence of publication bias or obvious heterogeneity were observed in the meta-analysis. The results of the present study demonstrated a decreased risk of developing OSCC for the MDM2 SNP309 group, suggesting MDM2 SNP309 may be a protection-associated genetic variation for OSCC. Additional well-designed studies, with larger sample sizes, are required to further elucidate this association.
