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

T cell immunoglobulin- and mucin-domain-containing molecule 3 (TIM-3) is a novel transmembrane protein that is involved in the regulation of T-helper 1 cell-mediated immunity. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in TIM-3 gene can be associated with various diseases. Here, we investigated the correlation of TIM-3 polymorphisms with susceptibility to pancreatic cancer in the Chinese population. Three polymorphisms in TIM-3 gene (-1516G/T, -574G/T, and +4259T/G) were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 306 pancreatic patients and 408 healthy controls. Results showed that the prevalence of +4259TG genotype and +4259G allele were significantly increased in the pancreatic cancer cases than in controls [odds ratio (OR) = 2.82, 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.45-5.48, p = 0.0015, and OR = 2.74, 95 % CI, 1.42-2.94, p = 0.0017]. In addition, when analyzing the TIM-3 polymorphisms with different clinical parameters in pancreatic cancer patients, the cases with vascular infiltration had higher numbers of +4259T/G polymorphism than those without vascular infiltration (OR = 3.07, 95 % CI, 1.41-6.68, p = 0.003). These results suggested polymorphisms in TIM-3 gene could be new risk factors for the development of pancreatic cancer.
