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

backgroundRecently, the association of IGFBP-3 polymorphism and cancer risk has attracted many attentions. Previous studies have shown that IGFBP-3 rs2854744 was associated with cancer, but the results were conflicting. METHOD AND

resultsWe performed a meta-analysis including 33 studies with 24,688 cases and 28,972 controls to seek the association among them. A significant increase of cancer risk was found between the IGFBP-3 rs2854744 Polymorphism and cancer risk in Recessive Model (CC vs. AC/AA: OR = 1.097, 95%CI: 1.020, 1.180, P < 0.05). While in subgroup analysis, A same increase of breast cancer risk also have been shown in our study in Recessive Model (CC vs. AC/AA: OR = 1.126, 95%CI: 1.007, 1.260, P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe results of our meta-analysis concluded that the IGFBP-3 rs2854744 polymorphism was closely related with the increase of cancer risk while further large size case–control studies are required.
