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

The rapidly increasing of cancer risk nationwide and worldwide has threatened human health and caused the changes of disease and death spectrum. MicroRNA (MiRNA) as cancer biomarker on susceptibility has enjoyed a high level of concern. This article will discuss the association between miR-146 rs2910164 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility in 38 independent case-control studies from 34905 individuals. The 38 case-control studies which were searched from PubMed were used for conducting a meta-analysis. There were 14670 cases and 20235 controls. ORs and 95% CIs were used for reflecting the strength of association between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Subgroup analysis based on the cancer type, ethnicity and study designs. All analysis were performed by using the Stata 11.0 software. MiR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism and overall cancer susceptibility were significantly uncorrelated in all genetic models. In the subgroup analysis for cancer types, miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility of lung cancer (CC vs. GG: OR 1.275, 95% CI 1.117-1.455 (P = 0.000); CC + CG vs. GG: OR 1.166, 95% CI 1.052-1.293 (P = 0.003); CC vs. CG + GG: OR 1.239, 95% CI 1.116-1.375 (P = 0.000); C vs. G OR 1.151, 95% CI 1.080-1.227 (P = 0.000)) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (CC vs. GG: OR 1.713, 95% CI 1.183-2.479 (P = 0.004); CC vs. CG + GG: OR 1.672, 95% CI 1.330-2.103 (P = 0.000); C vs. G: OR 1.400, 95% CI 1.181-1.659 (P = 0.000)), but it was not associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer. However, in the other subgroup analysis by ethnicity and study designs, no significant associations were found. MiR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism might be associated with the susceptibility to lung cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
