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

Common methods for identifying cancer-related genes are solely based on differences between gene frequencies in the disease and control groups, and do not take into account the age of onset in the gene carriers. In the present investigation, we developed a new study design based on the age of onset of cancer for the identification of colorectal cancer-related genes. The samples from patients with colorectal cancer were typed using an HLA-DQB1 polymerase chain reaction using a sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) typing kit. The mean age of subjects with and without the alleles was calculated. The mean age of subjects with the HLA-DQB1*02 allele was significantly less than that of subjects without this allele (p<0.05). We found that the HLA-DQB1*02 allele was associated with colorectal cancer susceptibility. This new method of analysis may therefore be an efficient and reliable approach for the identification of cancer-causing genes.
