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

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 2 (TNFR2) plays an important role in controlling the progression of antiviral and antitumorr. Evidence suggests that TNFR2 is involved in the pathogenesis of HBV-induced liver injury. We therefore examined whether TNFR2 polymorphisms are associated with the risk of HBV-related liver disease in Chinese population. In this case-control study, 115 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, 86 HBV-related liver cirrhosis patients (LC), 272 HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma patients (HCC) and 269 healthy controls were recruited. TNFR2 rs1061622 and rs1061624 polymorphisms were examined using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that the A allele of rs1061624 was positively associated with the risk of CHB (AA vs. GG, P = 0.026; AA vs. GA+GG, P = 0.021), LC (AA vs. GG, P = 0.027; AA+GA vs. GG, P = 0.036), and HCC (GA vs. GG, P = 0.046; GA+AA vs. GG, P = 0.031). Moreover, subgroup analysis indicated that male subjects have increased risk in developing CHB and LC. Nevertheless, no association was found between rs1061622 polymorphism and HBV-related liver diseases in the overall or subgroup analyses. Our retrospective study suggests that the TNFR2 rs1061624 polymorphism is associated with HBV-related CHB, LC, and HCC in Chinese population, particularly in males.
