Association between CYP1A1 rs4646903 T > C genetic variations and male infertility risk: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundNumber of studies have been performed to investigate the relationship between the CYP1A1 rs4646903 polymorphism and male infertility risk, but the sample size was small and the results were conflicting. A meta-analysis was performed to assess these associations.
methodsA systematic search was conducted to identify all relevant studies from Medline, Web of science, Embase, China biology medical literature database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang and Weipu (VIP) databases up to June 30, 2018. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of associations. All of the statistical analyses were conducted using Revman 5.3 and Stata 14.0.
resultsTen studies involved 3028 cases and 3258 controls. Overall, significant association was observed between the CYP1A1 rs4646903 polymorphism and male infertility (C vs T: OR = 1.42, 95%CI = 1.14-1.76; CC vs TT: OR = 2.13, 95%CI = 1.36-3.34; CC vs CT+TT: OR = 1.96, 95%CI = 1.30-2.95; CC+CT vs TT: OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.16-1.97). In subgroup analysis by ethnic group, a statistically significant association was observed in Asians (C vs T: OR = 1.59, 95%CI = 1.22-2.08), but not in Non-Asians (C vs T: OR = 1.01, 95%CI = 0.79-1.30). Additionally, none of the individual studies significantly affected the association between CYP1A1 rs4646903 polymorphism and male infertility, according to sensitivity analysis.
conclusionOur meta-analysis supports that the CYP1A1 rs4646903 polymorphism might contribute to individual susceptibility to male infertility in Asians.
