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

Evidence is accumulating that chronic inflammation may have an important role in prostate cancer (PCa). Three common polymorphisms in the promoter of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene, -1082 A>G, -819 C>T and -592 C>A, have been implicated to alter the risk of PCa, but the results of relative studies are inconclusive or controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we performed an updated meta-analysis on the basis of 10 studies. A comprehensive search was conducted to examine all the eligible studies of IL-10 polymorphism and PCa risk. We used odds ratios (ORs) to assess the strength of the association, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) give a sense of the precision of the estimate. Overall, there were no significant associations between increased risk of PCa and IL-10 -1082 A>G, -819 C>T and -592 C>A polymorphisms. However, meta-analysis suggested that IL-10 -819 C>T and -592 C>A polymorphisms might be modestly associated with PCa aggressiveness (T versus C, OR=1.162, 95% CI: 1.035-1.305, P=0.011; A versus C, OR=1.131, 95% CI: 1.012-1.264, P=0.030; respectively). IL-10 -819 C>T and -592 C>A polymorphisms might impact PCa progression. Variant alleles at both -819 and -592 were modestly associated with advanced stages of PCa. Additional well-designed studies are warranted to validate these findings.
