“…The remaining 34 articles were screened in full texts. Then four articles were excluded for not being related to the TP53 gene (Campbell and Thomas, 2001;Hsieh et al, 2001;Silva et al, 2011;Stewart et al, 2013) and eight for not being case-control studies (Bayramoglu and Duzcan, 2001;Bischoff et al, 2002;Lahoti et al, 1996;Nakayama et al, 2001;Ribeiro Junior et al, 2009;Vercellini et al, 1994;Vestergaard et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2011); thus, a total of 22 articles was retained for data extraction. In the following procedures, three articles were excluded as duplicate data (Ammendola et al, 2008;Carvalho et al, 2010;Chang et al, 2002) and one article was regarded as two separate casecontrol studies because it reported two cohorts from different populations (Govatati et al, 2012).…”
