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

Cervical cancer is a multifactorial disease, and increasing evidence suggests that host immunogenetic background may contribute to its pathogenesis. Genetic variations in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes may alter the efficiency of immune response to human papillomavirus (HPV) antigens and have been implicated in the risk of cervical cancer. We investigated whether polymorphisms in the HLA-DPB1 gene were associated with cervical cancer risk in a Taiwanese population. HLA-DPB1 alleles and +550 G/A polymorphism were genotyped in a case-control study of 473 women with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and 676 healthy controls. The presence and genotypes of HPV in CSCC were determined. We found that the DPB1*05:01 and +550 A alleles were associated with decreased and increased risk of CSCC, respectively [odds ratio (OR) = 0.72, Pc = 0.001; OR = 1.25, Pc = 0.03]. In subgroup analysis based on HPV type 16 positivity, significant associations were shown in the DPB1*05:01 and *13:01 alleles (OR = 0.65, Pc = 0.0007; OR = 1.83, Pc = 0.004). Furthermore, the DPB1*05:01-G and *13:01-G haplotypes conferred decreased and increased risk of both CSCC and HPV-16 positive CSCC women, respectively (OR = 0.72, Pc = 0.0009; OR = 0.63, Pc = 0.0004 for DPB1*05:01-G; OR = 1.55, Pc = 0.03; OR = 1.84, Pc = 0.004 for DPB1*13:01-G). A risk haplotype DPB1*02:01-A was also observed in the HPV-16 positive CSCC women (OR = 1.51, Pc = 0.05). These findings suggest that HLA-DPB1 gene is involved in the CSCC development.
