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

purposeRecently, the roles of TIM-1 genetic polymorphisms in asthma have been extensively studied, with conflicting results. Therefore, we performed the present meta-analysis to better assess potential associations of TIM-1 genetic polymorphisms with asthma.

methodsEligible articles were searched in PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and CNKI up to December 2016. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to detect any potential associations between TIM-1 genetic polymorphisms and asthma.

resultsA total of 12 articles including 3120 asthma patients and 2825 control subjects were analyzed. The overall and subgroup analyses revealed that TIM-1-416G>C single nucleotide polymorphism was significantly associated with asthma for the Asian population in the codominant (G/G vs. G/C, p = 0.0003, OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.33-2.60) and dominant (G/G vs. G/C + C/C, p < 0.0001, OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.40-2.69) genetic models. Nevertheless, we failed to detect any significant associations between TIM-1-416G>C single nucleotide polymorphism and asthma in Caucasians. Additionally, according to our analyses, TIM-1 5383_5397 insertion/deletion polymorphism was not correlated with asthma in both Asians and Caucasians.

conclusionsIn conclusion, our findings suggest that TIM-1-416G>C single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with asthma susceptibility for the Asian ethnicity in certain genetic models. However, TIM-1 5383_5397 insertion/deletion polymorphism may not be correlated with the risk of asthma.
