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

introductionBesides human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, several cofactors are considered important for the development of cervical cancer (CC). Among these, tobacco smoke, other sexually transmitted diseases, inflammation and nutritional factors have been intensively described. CYP2E1 polymorphisms have been associated with the metabolization of several carcinogens, some of them considered risk factors for CC development, such as tobacco smoke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CYP2E1 polymorphisms in the susceptibility to cervical cancer in a Portuguese population. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe genotypic analysis was performed with the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methodology, using peripheral blood samples of 454 individuals: 122 presented invasive squamous cell carcinoma (ICC), 59 presented squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL), and the control population was composed of 274 healthy individuals.

resultsConcerning the DraI polymorphism, we observed a decreased risk for the development of squamous cervical lesions in the presence of the C allele [odds ratio (OR)=0.600; 0.378<OR<0.952; p=0.029]. In the stratification of the analysis according to the mean age, we observed an increased risk for the development of SIL, for women older than 39 years of age, in the presence of the D allele (OR=0.087; 0.012<OR<0.651; p=0.003). Regarding the RsaI polymorphism, we did not find any significant differences.

conclusionThe decreased risk observed for the development of SIL and not ICC in the presence of the D allele may indicate that CYP2E1 interferes with the initial steps of the carcinogenic process, probably due to its involvement in the action of immunological mediators, expressed during cervical inflammation. These aspects may help to define new therapeutic strategies for chemoprevention.
