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

backgroundPrevious studies proved that interferon gamma (IFN-γ) gene polymorphisms were associated with the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, the association between IFN-γ polymorphisms and HBV-related liver cirrhosis (HBV-LC) risk is still unclear.

methodsIFN-γ +874 T/A and +2109G/A genotypes were determined in 126 HBV-LC patients, 129 chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients, and 173 early HBV infection controls using a sequence-specific primer-polymerase chain reaction and a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, respectively.

resultsSignificant associations were observed between +2109A/G polymorphisms and HBV-LC risk in the co-dominant model (GG vs. AA: OR = 0.321, 95% CI = 0.130-0.793, P = 0.014), the allelic model (OR = 0.565, 95% CI = 0.388-0.825, P = 0.003), the dominant model (OR = 0.551, 95% CI = 0.344-0.883, P = 0.013), and the recessive model (OR = 0.385, 95% CI = 0.159-0.930, P = 0.034). In addition, haplotype analysis indicated that the T(+874)G(+2109) haplotype significantly decreased the HBV-LC risk (OR = 0.106, 95% CI = 0.022-0.502, P = 0.000), and A(+874)A(+2109) haplotype significantly increased the LC risk (OR = 1.485, 95% CI = 1.065-2.070, P = 0.019). No significant associations were observed between IFN-γ +874 T/A polymorphisms and HBV-LC risk, as well as the two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and CHB risk (P > 0.05).

conclusionsOur observations suggested a significant association of IFN-γ polymorphisms with HBV-LC risk in the Chinese population.
