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

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide. Several factors including genetic and environmental have been linked with susceptibility to development of BC. Her2 is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity, overexpressed in several cancers including BC. Various studies in different populations have shown association of Her2 variants with susceptibility to BC, however these results were inconsistent, inconclusive and controversial. To obtain a common conclusive finding, we performed meta-analysis of 35 case-control studies reported earlier including 19, 220 cases and 22, 306 controls. We observed significant association of Her2
