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

Variations in nucleotide excision repair pathway genes may predispose to initiation of cancers. However, polymorphisms of ERCC1/XPF genes and neuroblastoma risk have not been investigated before. To evaluate the relevance of polymorphisms of ERCC1/XPF genes in influencing neuroblastoma susceptibility, we genotyped four polymorphisms in ERCC1/XPF genes using a Chinese population of 393 cases and 812 controls. The results showed that ERCC1 rs2298881 and rs11615 predisposed to enhanced neuroblastoma risk [CA vs. AA: adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.30-2.89, P=0.0012; CC vs. AA: adjusted OR=2.18, 95% CI=1.45-3.26, P=0.0002 for rs2298881, and AG vs. GG: adjusted OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.02-1.69, P=0.038 for rs11615]. Moreover, XPF rs2276466 was also associated with increased neuroblastoma risk (GG vs. CC: adjusted OR=1.66, 95% CI=1.02-2.71, P=0.043). In the combined analysis of ERCC1, we found that carriers with 2-3 risk genotypes were more likely to get risk of neuroblastoma, when compared to those with 0-1 risk genotype (adjusted OR=1.75; 95% CI=1.25-2.45, P=0.0012). Our study indicates that common genetic variations in ERCC1/XPF genes predispose to neuroblastoma risk, which needs to be further validated by ongoing efforts.
