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 studies have investigated miR-4293 rs12220909 polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility and yielded different results. Because of this controversy, we designed a meta-analysis to assess comprehensively the association of the rs12220909 polymorphism with cancer risk.

methodsRelevant articles were collected by searching the databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang. Data on rs12220909 in cancer patients and controls were extracted. Sensitivity analyses and publication bias assessments were performed.

resultsFive studies with 3820 cases and 4574 controls were included in our meta-analysis. Pooled analyses showed that the rs12220909 polymorphism was not associated with cancer risk in any genetic model. (C vs G: odds ratio [OR] = 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.74-1.07; GC vs GG: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.67-1.03; CC vs GG: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.82-1.36; CC+GC vs GG: OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.69-1.03; CC vs GC+GG: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.85-1.40).

conclusionsOur results indicate that rs12220909 is not associated with cancer risk. Larger, well-designed multicenter studies are needed to further explore the association of miR-4293 rs12220909 polymorphism with cancer risk.
