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

aimTo evaluate the contribution of the G-197A polymorphism in the interleukin-17 (IL-17) promoter region to gastric cancer risk in an Iranian population.

methodsWe performed a case control study using samples from 161 individuals with gastric cancer and 171 healthy controls. For each individual, the G-197A genotype was determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragments. Statistical analyses were performed to determine whether any demographic or behavioral factors, infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), or a particular G-197A genotype was associated with gastric cancer risk.

resultsWe found that the G-197A genotype was significantly associated with increased gastric cancer risk (P = 0.001). Patients who were homozygous (AA) at position -197 were 2.9 times more likely to develop disease (95%CI: 1.56-5.4; P = 0.001). Furthermore, logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of a single A allele increased the risk of gastric cancer up to 1.7-fold (95%CI: 1.26-2.369; P = 0.001). This association was observed for early stage gastric adenocarcinomas only, and was not linked to H. pylori infection.

conclusionThese results suggest that carrying one or more G-197A polymorphisms at position -197 in the IL-17 promoter region significantly increases gastric cancer risk in this patient population.
