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

Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is very aggressive with a poor prognosis. Besides environmental risk factors, genetic factors might contribute to the esophageal cancer carcinogenesis. To evaluate the association between the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and genetic variants in IGFBP3, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study to assess the genetic effects of these SNPs. A total of 380 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases and 380 controls were recruited for this study. The genotypes were determined using a matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The IGFBP3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2270628 C>T, rs10282088 C>A, and rs3110697 G>A were associated with a significantly decreased risk of ESCC. However, our results were obtained with a limited sample size. To confirm the current findings, larger studies with other ethnic populations are required.
