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

backgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD) are the 2 main types of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Several studies have been conducted to investigate the association of Glutathione S-Transferase M1 (GSTM1) null genotype with UC and CD, but the results are inconsistent. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify this controversy based on relative large sample size.

methodsA systematic article searching was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, WOS, ProQuest, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Wanfang databases up to August 31, 2019. Meta-analysis results were synthesized by using crude odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and publication bias were assessed by using STATA 11.0 software.

resultsA total of 15 relevant studies including 4353 IBDs patients (1848 CD cases, 2505 UC cases) and 5413 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Totally, we found a significant association between GSTM1 null genotype and risk to IBDs in the overall populations (OR = 1.37, 95%CI = 1.13-1.65, P = .001). Stratified by ethnicity, we found a significant association between GSTM1 null genotype and risk to IBDs in the Asian population (OR = 2.54, 95%CI = 2.15-3.00, P = .001), but not in the Caucasian population. Stratified by disease type, we found a significant association between GSTM1 null genotype with CD in the Asian population (OR = 2.37, 95%CI = 1.11-5.06, P = .026), and with UC in the Asian (OR = 2.48, 95%CI = 1.93-3.20, P = .001) population. In addition, funnel plot and Egger linear regression test suggests no publication bias in all genetic models.

conclusionGSTM1 null genotype is associated with susceptibility to IBD, UC, and CD in the Asian population. Further well-designed studies are still needed to confirm these findings.
