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

A genome-wide association study identified a common genetic variant rs4939827 at 18q21 in SMAD7 to be related with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk with OR=1.2 and P =7.80E-28. Until recently, several meta-analysis studies have been conducted, and reported significant association between rs4939827 and CRC risk. However none of these studies evaluated the potential association between rs4939827 and CRC risk in Chinese population. In this study, we evaluated this association by a meta-analysis using 12077 samples including 5816 CRC cases and 6261 controls. In the end, we identified the T allele of rs4939827 to be significantly related with an increase CRC risk (P=2.22E-05, OR=1.14, 95% CI 1.07-1.21) in Chinese population.
