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

backgroundSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) accumulated in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is susceptible to the tumor formation. We discovered previously that SNPs in the mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) was associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsThe cytochrome c oxidase (COX) genes of mtDNA were sequenced between 107 HCC patients and 100 matched healthy controls. The χ

resultsIn this study, cancer risk-associated SNPs in the COX genes of mtDNA coding region were assessed in HCC patients and health controls. The nucleotide position at site 9545A/G (P=.036) was identified its association for HCC with the 9545G allele susceptible to cancer risk.

conclusionsThe SNPs in the COX genes may help us to evaluate the cancer risk of HCC.
