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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, short and non-coding RNAs that may play important roles in the pathogenesis of tumor. The associations between microRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and cancer risk in different systems remain inconclusive. This article is aimed to obtain more exact estimation of these relationships through a meta-analysis based on 52,456 individuals. We retrieved relevant and eligible studies from Pubmed and Embase database up to January 10, 2018. ORs and 95% CIs were used to estimate the associations between miR-499 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility in different systems. All analyses were performed using the Stata 11.0 software. A total of 65 case-control studies were retrieved using explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study included 23,762 cases and 28,694 controls. Overall cancer analysis showed the association between miR-499 polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer was significant. MicroRNA-499 rs3746444 was found to be significantly associated with increased risk of cancer of the respiratory system (CC vs. TT: OR = 1.575, 95% CI = 1.268-1.955, CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 1.527, 95% CI = 1.232-1.892), digestive system (CC vs. TT: OR = 1.153, 95% CI = 1.027-1.295; TC vs. TT: OR = 1.109, 95% CI = 1.046-1.176; CC+TC vs. TT: OR = 1.112, 95% CI = 1.018-1.216; CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 1.137, 95% CI = 1.016-1.272; C vs. T: OR = 1.112, 95% CI = 1.025-1.206), urinary system (TC vs. TT: OR = 1.307, 95% CI = 1.130-1.512; CC+TC vs. TT: OR = 1.259, 95% CI = 1.097-1.446; C vs. T: OR = 1.132, 95% CI = 1.014-1.264), and gynecological system (C vs. T: OR = 1.169, 95% CI = 1.002-1.364). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the result showed that significant association with an increased cancer risk was found in Asian. Subgroup analysis based on type of tumor was also performed, miR-499 rs3746444 is associated with susceptibility of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
