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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a virally associated cancer which is highly prevalent in Southeast Asia and North Africa. Several linkage analysis studies suggested the association of susceptibility HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) alleles and haplotypes with NPC development. The HLA system is very polymorphic and according to the ethnic group studied, it has been found to have the capacity to confer susceptibility or resistance to NPC. Our aim was to review the most important described genetic associations of HLA class I in NPC and to comment on the inconsistent associations found in the different NPC incidence areas. We believe that the mechanisms of these associations may involve HLA genes through the differential capacity of each allele to present antigens. However, because HLA genes contain various linked candidate genes, HLA-NPC associations should be carefully interpreted.
