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

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between 2 polymorphisms (ie, rs10877887 and rs13293512) in the promoter regions of let-7 and the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).A case-control study of 618 PTC patients and 562 controls was conducted. The rs10877887 polymorphism was genotyped by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and the rs13293512 polymorphism was genotyped by using a TaqMan Genotyping Assay. The results were confirmed by DNA sequencing.The rs10877887 polymorphism had reduced risks of PTC in heterozygous comparison, dominant model, and overdominant model (TC vs TT: adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.73, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.58-0.94, P = 0.01; TC/CC vs TT: adjusted OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.63-1.00, P = 0.047; TC vs TT/CC: adjusted OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.57-0.92, P = 0.007, respectively). Stratified analyses showed that PTC patients carrying the rs10877887 CC genotype were more likely to have multiple tumors (adjusted OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.03-2.86, P = 0.04), and PTC patients carrying the rs13293512 TC + CC or CC were more likely to develop N0 status (TC/CC vs TT: adjusted OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.43-0.94, P = 0.02; CC vs TC/TT: adjusted OR = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.33-0.77, P = 0.001, respectively).Our study suggests that the rs10877887 polymorphism may be associated with the risk of PTC and the rs13293512 polymorphism may correlate to lymph node metastasis in PTC.
