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

Inherited promoter polymorphisms of the interleukin (IL)-10 gene resulting in altered IL-10 production may contribute to a genetic susceptibility for melanoma. We investigated the role of a haplotype from distal as well as proximal polymorphic sites [-7400InDel, -6752AT (rs6676671), -3538AT (rs1800890), -1087AG (rs1800896), -597AC (rs1800872)] of the IL-10 5'-flanking region in a hospital-based case-control study of 165 Caucasian patients with cutaneous melanoma from Germany in comparison with 162 healthy cancer-free Caucasian control participants from the same area matched by age. Using multivariate analysis for the number of nevi and skin type, the IL-10 'higher producing' haplotype ITAGC was found to be significantly associated with a reduced risk of developing melanoma (adjusted P=0.02). Although our findings need to be confirmed by independent and larger multicenter studies, we have described for the first time the association of distal gene variants of the IL-10 gene as an independent risk factor for melanoma.
