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

Genetic polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) rs1799983 (Glu298Asp) has been implicated to alter the risk of prostate cancer, but the results are controversial. Two investigators independently searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase electronic databases up to September 30, 2013. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) for rs1799983 polymorphism and prostate cancer were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed with the software program Review Manage, version 5.0 and Stata 11.0. A total of 7 independent studies, including 1,792 cases and 2,411 controls, were identified. Our analysis suggested that rs1799983 was associated with prostate cancer risk in overall population under dominant model (OR = 1.15, 95%CI = 1.01-1.30, P = 0.03) and allelic model (OR = 1.11, 95%CI = 1.00-1.22, P = 0.04). In the subgroup analysis, we detected no association between rs1799983 polymorphism and prostate risk in Caucasian population under all the genetic models. This meta-analysis showed the evidence that NOS3 rs1799983 polymorphism was associated with a risk of prostate cancer development in overall populations.
