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

Acute toxicity is the main dose-limiting factor in the chemoradiotherapy of rectal cancer patients and depends on several pro-inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). It is unknown whether genetic factors, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-1, IL-6, and TNF genes, are also associated with acute toxicity in the process.We genotyped 5 potentially functional SNPs in these 3 genes (TNF rs1799964, TNF rs1800629, IL-6 rs1800796, and IL-1 rs1143623, IL-1 rs1143627) and estimated their associations with severe acute radiation injury (grade ≥2) in 356 rectal cancer patients.We found a predictive role of the TNF rs1799964 T variant allele in the development of acute injury (for CT vs CC: adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 4.718, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.152-19.328, P = 0.031; for TT vs CC: adjusted OR = 4.443, 95% CI = 1.123-17.581, P = 0.034). In the dominant model, for CT/TT vs CC, the adjusted OR = 4.132, 95% CI = 1.069-15.966, and P = 0.04.Our results suggested that genetic variants in the TNF gene may influence acute injury in rectal cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy and may be a predictor for personalized treatment. Additional larger and independent studies are needed to confirm our findings.
