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

BACKGROUND The association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln gene polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been investigated in several populations. However, the findings are controversial. The aim of this study was to address the association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and HCC in an Iranian population. METHODS We have evaluated the association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln gene polymorphism and HCC in 151 Iranian individuals (50 patients with HCC and 101 healthy matched controls) using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) method. RESULTS Significant association was found for the XRCC1 A allele and HCC [OR = 1.93, 95% CI (1.16 - 3.25), P = 0.0099]. Also, genotype analysis by SNPStats online software showed a significant association between XRCC1 gene polymorphisms and HCC under co-dominant, dominant, and recessive genetic models. CONCLUSION Our study provides evidence that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism may be associated with the risk of HCC development in Iranian population.
