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

backgroundTumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an apoptotic molecule with a key role in the apoptosis of tumors and virus-infected cells. The association of 1525G/A and 1595C/T polymorphisms in the region of 3' UTR on the TRAIL gene has been shown in many cancers and diseases. Polymorphism at the positions of 1525G/A and 1595C/T might influence the clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV).

objectivesThis study was carried out to determine the role of the TRAIL gene polymorphisms in clinical outcome of HBV infection. PATIENTS AND

methodsPolymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was applied to genotype TRAIL polymorphisms at positions 1525G/A and 1595C/T. To evaluate the TRAIL gene polymorphism in the 3' UTR region at position 1525G/A and 1595C/T, 147 patients with HBV infection were divided into three different groups of chronic hepatitis (n = 52), cirrhosis (n = 33), and carrier (n = 62) and there was a group of 101 healthy controls.

resultsOur data showed that genotypes 1525G/A and 1595C/T were in complete linkage disequilibrium and the genotype frequencies at the two positions were the same. No significant differences in frequencies of genotype and alleles at positions 1525G/A and 1595C/T were observed between all the three groups (P value > 0.05).

conclusionsAccording to our result, 1525G/A and 1595C/T were in strong linkage disequilibrium and the polymorphisms of the TRAIL gene in the 3' UTR region were not associated with the outcome of HBV infection.
