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

To evaluate the role of host IL28B (interleukin 28B; interferon lambda 3) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in predicting hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility, three SNPs in the IL28B gene (rs12979860C/T, rs8099917G/T and rs12980275G/A) were examined in 330 subjects (including 154 HBV-related HCC patients, 86 non-HCC patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 43 HBV self-limited infections and 47 healthy controls). Notably, the frequency of CC homozygosity was 91.5% in healthy controls and 72.9% in CHB, the difference being statistically significant (χ(2) = 6.40, P = 0.01). The statistically difference was seen between healthy controls (91.5%) and HCC (74.7%) (χ(2) = 6.05, P = 0.01). However, this significant finding was not seen between HBV self-limited and healthy controls. Carriers of the minor T allele in rs12979860 had a higher risk of HCC compared with non-carriers (χ(2) = 4.44, P = 0.04). Haplotype analyses revealed significant association between haplotype C-T-A and healthy controls, but not with the HCC group (96.6 vs. 82.0%, χ(2) = 6.08, P = 0.01). Analyses of genotype combination and gene-gene interaction showed that there was a positive interaction between rs12979860 and rs12980275, with an OR rate of 11.79 (likelihood test, P = 0.04). Our results suggest that the IL28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism might affect susceptibility to the chronic HBV infection and progression of HCC. Of note, the T allele and non-CC genotypes have strong predictive effect of increasing susceptibility of chronic HBV infection and HCC.
