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

purposeImportance of polymorphisms in NF-kappaB1 and NF-kappaBIalpha genes for melanoma risk, clinicopathological features and tumor progression is analyzed in Swedish melanoma patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsFunctional polymorphisms of NF-kappaB1 and NF-kappaBIalpha genes were examined in 185 melanoma patients and 438 tumor-free individuals. Associations of the polymorphisms with melanoma risk, age and pigment phenotypes of the patients and clinicopathological tumor characteristics were analyzed. DNAs were isolated from mononuclear cells of venous blood. Polymorphisms of the genes were genotyped by a PCR-RFLP technique, and transcription level of NF-kappaBIalpha was examined by a quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR.

resultsBoth ATTG insertion polymorphism of NF-kappaB1 and A to G polymorphism of NF-kappaBIalpha genes were correlated with melanoma risk, especially, in a combination of ATTG( 2 )/ATTGT(2) and GG. NF-kappaB1 ATTG(2)/ATTG(2) and NF-kappaBIalpha GG genotypes were associated with male gender and age >65 years (at diagnosis). Patients with ATTG(1)/ATTG(1 )genotype had thinner tumors and lower Clark levels at diagnosis. Frequency of ATTG(1)/ATTG(1) genotype was higher in patients with melanomas on intermittently sun-exposed pattern of the body and NF-kappaBIalpha GG was more frequent in the patients with melanomas at rarely exposed sites. There were no differences in the gene transcription level between patients with different NF-kappaBIalpha genotypes.

conclusionNF-kappaB1 and NF-kappaBIalpha genes might be susceptible genes for melanoma risk and functional polymorphisms of these genes might be biological predictors for melanoma progression.
