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

backgroundSeveral genome-wide association studies already explored the associations between 6q25.1 rs2046210 polymorphism and breast cancer (BC), but the results of these studies were not consistent. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis of relevant studies to better analyze the effects of rs2046210 polymorphism on individual susceptibility to BC.

methodsPubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for eligible studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.

resultsTotally 21 studies with 261,703 subjects were analyzed. A significant association with BC was observed for the rs2046210 polymorphism in GG versus GA +AA (dominant comparison, p < 0.0001, OR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.73-0.83), AA versus GG + GA (recessive comparison, p < 0.0001, OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.18-1.24), GA versus GG + AA (overdominant comparison, p < 0.0001, OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.08-1.16), and G versus A (allele comparison, p < 0.0001, OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.82-0.89). Further subgroup analyses yielded similar positive results in both Asians and Caucasians.

conclusionIn summary, our findings suggested that the rs2046210 polymorphism may serve as a potential genetic biomarker of BC in both Asians and Caucasians.
