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

purposeIntegrins play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of this study was to investigate whether two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2141698, -1687A/G; rs11895564, Ala380Thr) of the integrin alpha 6 (ITGA6) gene are associated with the development and clinicopathologic characteristics of PTC such as the size (<1 cm and ≥1 cm), number (unifocality and multifocality), location (one lobe and both lobes), extrathyroid invasion, and cervical lymph node metastasis.

methodsWe enrolled 104 PTC patients and 318 control subjects. Genotypes of each SNP were determined by direct sequencing. SNPStats, SNPAnalyzer, and Helixtree programs were used to evaluate odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and P-values. Multiple logistic regression models were performed to analyze genetic data.

resultsA missense SNP rs11895564 was associated with the development of PTC. The A allele frequency of rs11895564 was higher in PTC patients than in controls (13.5% vs. 7.1%; P = 0.005; OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.24 to 3.37). In the clinicopathologic characteristics, the A allele frequency of rs11895564 showed difference in the size (19.6% in <1 cm vs. 6.9% in ≥1 cm; P = 0.010; OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.12 to 0.75) and number (8.5% in unifocality vs. 20.8% in multifocality; P = 0.015; OR, 2.85; 95% CI, 1.23 to 6.59) of PTC.

conclusionThese results suggest that the A allele of rs11895564 (Ala380Thr) in ITGA6 may be a risk factor of PTC, and also contribute to the progression of PTC in the Korean population.
