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

KRAS mutation is frequently detected in a series of cancers, including papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Recently, a genetic variant of rs712 in the 3' untranslated region of the KRAS gene has been reported to be functional in the regulation of KRAS by disrupting complementary site of let-7 and miR-181. We aimed to investigate whether the polymorphism is a risk factor for PTC. We conducted an association study, including 252 PTC patients and 290 healthy controls. The KRAS rs712 polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Although no significant difference of the KRAS rs712 distribution was observed between cases and controls in overall analysis, stratification analysis showed that patients carrying the KRAS rs712TT genotype were less likely to develop stages T3 and T4 under a recessive genetic model (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.08-0.82). These results supported the role of the KRAS rs712 polymorphism as a potential genetic biomarker for the extension of PTC. Further population-based association studies are of great value to confirm the results in diverse ethnicities.
