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

The association between ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism and ischemic stroke (IS) susceptibility has extensively been investigated, especially in white populations; however, the results were inconclusive. Here, we perform a meta-analysis to clarify the effect of SG13S114 variant on the IS risk in Europeans. The Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline were searched up to August 1st, 2016. Data were extracted and the odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by a fixed-effects or random-effects model. In total, 8 case control studies involved 8062 subjects were finally included in this meta-analysis. We observed a significantly decreased IS risk in persons carrying an A allele at the SG13S114 polymorphism compared with those with a T allele (A vs T, OR = 0.856, 95% CI = 0.797-0.919, p < 0.001). In addition, the results of sensitivity and cumulative meta-analysis indicated the robustness of our results. In addition, the publication bias was not detected using the funnel plot and Egger's tests. In summary, the present meta-analysis suggested that the A allele at the ALOX5AP SG13S114 polymorphism is a protective factor for the IS in the Europeans. In addition, further studies with large sample size are needed to validate the association, as well as in other ethnic groups.
