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

Toll-like receptor (TLR4) 4 is present in numerous cell types and serves as the first point of defense in the innate immune system. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are present in a number TLR genes and have been associated with various infection and inflammation disorders. Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile, TLR4 SNPs, are associated with tumor progression. In the present study, cases of ovarian cancer were analyzed with regards to Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile of the TLR4 gene. Genotype analysis was performed using DNA from tissue samples from stage I-IV patients with ovarian cancer. DNA from tissue samples was extracted and analyzed by a pyrosequencing method following multiplex polymerase chain reaction. The genotypes of these SNPs were analyzed in the present study in a population of 105 patients, with different types of ovarian cancer, between 2004 and 2012. The allele frequencies for TLR4 Asp299Gly identified in this population were 1.00 (A) and 0.00 (G); for TLR4 Thr399Ile the allele frequencies were; 1.00 (C) and 0.00 (T). For TLR4 Asp299Gly the observed genotype frequency was 1.00 (AA), 0.00 (AG) and 0.0 (GG). In TLR4 Thr399Ile the observed genotype frequencies were 1.00 (CC), 0.00 (CT) and 0.00 (TT). TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile alleles were not detected in the patients. These results indicated that the TLR4 299Gly and 399Ile alleles were exhibited at a lower frequency in the ovarian cancer patients that were examined.
