Association of the -183 polymorphism in the IFN-gamma gene promoter with hepatitis B virus infection in the Chinese population.

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.
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
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in regulating cellular immune responses. Regulation of IFN-gamma expression is considered to be strictly controlled at the transcriptional level. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the human IFN-gamma promoter (at positions -183 and -155) are considered to influence the promoter activity by altering the acting transcription factor-1 (AP-1) binding. We sought to assess the association between the SNPs of the IFN-gamma promoter and the host susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as well as its interaction with age and gender. No polymorphism at position-155 was detected in any of the participants, but a significant difference was found in the polymorphism at position -183 between the cases and controls (G/T and T/T vs. GG; P < 0.01, odds ratio (OR) = 4.50 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.23-9.09). A susceptibility analysis revealed a gradually increased trend of the OR value from the young to the old group (OR = 3.03, 4.17, and 5.56). Similarly, the association of the -183 polymorphism was markedly different in females (OR = 5.71). Our data suggest that the polymorphism at position -183 of the IFN-gamma gene promoter may be associated with susceptibility to HBV infection, and age and gender factors are coordinative risk factors.
