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

Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) is a well known gene for its functions in gastric cancer suppression, but the effect of its genetic variations on the risk of gastric cancer remains unclear. In this study, ten tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) of the RUNX3 gene were selected and genotyped in a hospital-based case-control study of 312 gastric cancer patients and 329 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population. In the single-locus analysis, three RUNX3 intronic tSNPs associated with significantly increased risk of gastric cancer were observed: the SNP3 rs11249206 CC genotype (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-2.99), compared with the TT genotype; the SNP7 rs760805 AA genotype (adjusted OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.14-2.92), compared with the TT genotype; and the SNP8 rs2236852 GG genotype (adjusted OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.05-2.72), compared with the AA genotype. In the combined analyses of these three tSNPs, we found that the combined genotypes with four to six variant (risk) alleles (i.e. SNP3 C, SNP7 A, and SNP8 G alleles) were associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer compared with those with one to three variant (risk) alleles (adjusted OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.41-2.85), and this increased risk was more pronounced among subgroups of age > or =65 years, never smokers, and never drinkers. However, no significant association was observed in the clinicopathological features analyses. In conclusion, the RUNX3 genetic variants may modulate the risk of gastric cancer in a Chinese population. Further larger and functional studies are warranted to validate the findings.
