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

Transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) polymorphism was associated with radiation pneumonitis (RP) susceptibility, but their results have been inconsistent. The PubMed and CNKI were searched for case-control studies published up to Januray 01, 2016 was Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. In this meta-analysis, we assessed eight publications involving 368 radiation pneumonitis cases and 855 controls of the association between TGF-β1 T869C (rs1982073) and G915C (rs1800471) polymorphism and RP susceptibility. Our analysis suggested that TGF-β1 T869C rs1982073 polymorphism was associated with lower RP risk for CT combined CC versus TT model (OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.43-0.77). However, for the G915C rs1800471 polymorphism, no association was found between the polymorphism and the susceptibility to RP in GC combined CC versus GG model (OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.50-1.35). These results from the meta-analysis suggest that T869C rs1982073 polymorphism of TGF-β1 may be associated with RP risk, and there may be no association between G915C polymorphism and RP risk.
