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

backgroundInsulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2), a signaling adaptor protein, was involved in two cancer-related pathways (the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways). Several studies have evaluated the association between IRS2 rs1805097 (G>A) polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal and breast cancer. However, the results were inconsistent. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

findingsA meta-analysis of seven published case-control studies (4 studies with 4798 cases and 5478 controls for colorectal cancer and 3 studies with 2108 cases and 2507 controls for breast cancer) were conducted to assess the strength of association using crude odd ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For colorectal cancer, no obvious associations were found for all genetic models (homozygote comparison OR = 0.96, 95%CI 0.85-1.08, Pheterogeneity = 0.97; heterozygote comparison: OR = 0.91, 95%CI 0.73-1.13, Pheterogeneity<0.01; dominant model: OR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.80-1.06, Pheterogeneity = 0.05; recessive model: OR = 1.02, 95%CI 0.91-1.14, Pheterogeneity = 0.60). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, control source and consistency of frequency with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), still no significant associations were observed. For breast cancer, also no obvious associations were found for all genetic models (homozygote comparison: OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.71-1.26, Pheterogeneity = 0.10; heterozygote comparison: OR = 1.00, 95%CI 0.89-1.14, Pheterogeneity = 0.71; dominant model: OR = 0.98, 95%CI 0.87-1.10, Pheterogeneity = 0.55; recessive model: OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.72-1.25, Pheterogeneity = 0.07). We performed subgroup analyses by sample size and did not find an association.

conclusionsThis meta-analysis indicated that IRS2 rs1805097 polymorphism was not associated with colorectal and breast cancer risk.
