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

Nuclear factor-kappa B1 (NF-κB1), a pleiotropic transcription factor, functions as a critical contributor to tumorigenesis. Growing numbers of case-control studies were carried out to analyse the potential contribution of NF-κB1 gene variants to gastrointestinal cancer risk, yet remains conflicting conclusions. Therefore, we conducted this most up-to-date meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between NF-κB1 gene insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism, namely -94ins/delATTG or rs28362491, and the susceptibility to gastrointestinal cancers. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and MEDLINE databases updated in April 2021 for relevant studies. Meta-analysis was carried out by software Stata11.0. The quantification of the relationship was determined by computing the combined odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Sensitivity analysis, the funnel plot and Begg's rank correlation test were also applied. Our findings indicate that -94ins/delATTG polymorphism could not significantly impact the susceptibility to gastrointestinal cancers. Under any five genetic models, -94ins/delATTG polymorphism was not remarkedly linked to the risk of colorectal, gastric and oesophageal cancer, respectively. The significant role of -94ins/delATTG was only observed in some certain subgroups. Findings here suggest that NF-κB1 gene -94ins/delATTG polymorphism may not predispose to gastrointestinal cancer susceptibility.
