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

backgroundThe results from previous studies on association between prostaglandin E receptor 4 (PTGER4) polymorphisms and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk in Caucasian were conflict. The present study aimed to investigate the genetic association by conducting a meta-analysis.

methodsSystematic literature search was conducted through Wiley Online Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and PubMed databases. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to investigate the associations between rs4613763 T/C, 17234657T/G polymorphisms, and IBD risk in Caucasian.

resultsTwenty case-control studies consisting of 18,495 Crohn disease (CD) patients and 4203 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, as well as 26,063 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The rs4613763T/C polymorphism had obvious influence on CD, UC risk in Caucasian. However, rs17234657T/G polymorphism had obvious influence on CD but not UC in Caucasian.

conclusionThis meta-analysis suggested that both the rs4613763 T/C, rs17234657T/G polymorphisms had obvious influence on risk of CD in Caucasian. In addition, rs4613763 T/C, polymorphism had obvious influence on risk of UC in Caucasian.
