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

backgroundBarrett's esophagus (BE), the premalignant lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma, is believed to develop as a result of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Approximately 10 % of subjects with GERD progress to BE. Genetic, epigenetic and other risk factors may contribute to this inter-individual variability. Caudal type homeobox 1 (Cdx1) and Caudal type homeobox 2 (Cdx2) play important regulatory roles in the development of human BE.

aimsTo determine associations between Cdx1 and Cdx2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and BE.

methodsGenomic DNA was extracted from blood samples collected from BE (n = 109) and GERD (n = 223) patients for genotyping of 5 SNPs each of Cdx1 and Cdx2 using TaqMan allelic discrimination assays. Odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals of SNPs and haplotypes were calculated with a logistic regression model adjusted for factors including age, sex and hiatal hernia. Interactions between genetic variants and these three risk factors were also analyzed.

resultsOlder age (≥50 years), male sex and hiatal hernia were significantly associated with BE (P < 0.001). Five variants of Cdx1 SNPs (rs3776082, rs717746 and rs3776083), one Cdx1 haplotype, and three variants of Cdx2 SNPs (rs4769585 and rs3812863) were associated with BE (P < 0.05). Statistically significant interactions were detected between most of these SNPs and the three risk factors (P < 0.05).

conclusionCertain SNPs of Cdx1 and Cdx2 and their interactions with other risk factors are associated with BE, and may contribute to human susceptibility to BE.
