Association of 17q24 rs1859962 gene polymorphism with prostate cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRecently, several genome-wide association studies have demonstrated a cumulative association of 17q24 rs1859962 gene variants with prostate cancer (PCa) risk, but conflicting results on this issue have been reported. Hence, we performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to assess the association between 17q24 rs1859962 gene and PCa risk.
methodsSystematic literature searches were conducted with PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct/Elsevier, CNKI, and the Cochrane Library up to January 2019 for studies focusing on the association of 17q24 rs1859962 gene polymorphism with PCa risk. Meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager and stata software. Combined OR were identified with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) in a random or fixed effects model.
resultsEight studies were identified, including 7863 cases of PCa patients and 17122 normal controls. Our results revealed significant associations between the 17q24 rs1859962 gene polymorphism and PCa in all genetic models (P < 0.05). The combined odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were as follows: Additive model (odds ratios [ORs] 1.44, 95%, confidence interval [CI] [1.32, 1.57]); Codominant model (ORs 1.22, 95% CI [1.08, 1.39]); Dominant model (ORs 1.25, 95%, CI [1.17, 1.34]); recessive model (ORs 1.27, 95% CI [1.18, 1.36]); allele model (ORs 1.32, 95% CI [1.12, 1.55]).
conclusionThe present study supports the proposed association between the 17q24 gene rs1859962 and PCa progression. Specifically, this polymorphism is suggested to be a risk factor of PCa. However, studies with larger sample sizes are needed to better illuminate the correlation between 17q24 rs1859962 gene polymorphism and PCa.
