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

Objective: Preterm birth (PTB) is a typical inflammatory disease with unclear pathogenesis. The studies investigating the relationship between anti-inflammatory factors IL-4 and IL-10 gene polymorphisms and PTB produced conflicting results. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effects of IL-4 and IL-10 gene polymorphisms and clarify their possible association with PTB. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane library (up to 02 April 2022). The MeSH terms, related entry terms, and other names in "Gene" database were used to find relevant articles. A fixed- or random-effects model was used to calculate the significance of IL-4 and IL-10 gene polymorphisms, depending on study heterogeneity. The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated in the allele, recessive, dominant, co-dominant, and over-dominant models. The Eggers publication bias plot was used to graphically represent the publication bias. Results: Polymorphisms in two interleukins (IL-4-590C/T (rs2243250) = 5 and IL-10-592A/C (rs1800872), -819T/C (rs1800871) and -1082A/G (rs1800896) = 16) were found in 21 articles. Overall, only the over-dominant gene model AA + GG Conclusion: The current study suggests that the over-dominant gene model AA + GG Systematic Review Registration: https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-4-0044, identifier INPLASY202240044.
