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 relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphism and gastric cancer risk and its development, prognosis, and survival are still being debated. This meta-analysis was performed to assess these relationships. The association reports were identified from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CBM-disc (China Biological Medicine Database), and eligible studies were included and calculated using the meta-analysis method. VEGF+936C/T, VEGF+405 G>C, VEGF-460 T>C, VEGF-1498 T>C, and VEGF-2578 C>A gene polymorphisms were found to be unassociated with gastric cancer risk for the overall population in this meta-analysis, whereas the VEGF-634 G>C GG genotype was associated with gastric cancer risk in the overall population. Furthermore, VEGF-634 G>C C allele and the GG genotype were associated with gastric cancer risk in Caucasians, and VEGF+1612G/A gene polymorphism was associated with gastric cancer risk for the Asian population. VEGF+936C/T gene polymorphism was not associated with the stage of cancer, lymph node metastasis, Lauren classification, or survival of gastric cancer. However, VEGF+936C/T T allele and TT genotype were associated with the tumor size of gastric cancer. In conclusion, the VEGF-634 G>C GG genotype was associated with gastric cancer risk in the overall population with the VEGF-634 G>C C allele and GG genotype being associated with risk in Caucasians and VEGF+1612G/A in the Asian population.
