A comprehensive evaluation of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with atrophic gastritis risk: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been inconsistently associated with atrophic gastritis (AG) risk. This meta-analysis aimed to synthesize relevant data on SNPs associated with AG.

Methods

To identify all associated studies of SNPs and AG published, databases had been searched through January 2020 from the databases of PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Web of Science, Embase, the Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), Cochrane Library, and Wanfang databases. With the help of network meta-analysis and Thakkinstian algorithm, the best genetic model with the strongest correlation with AG was selected, the final result - matching to the noteworthy correlation - was obtained by referring to the false positive reporting
