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

This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association of common TLR9 and TLR2 gene polymorphisms (TLR9 1486 T/C, TLR9 G2848A, and TLR2-196 to -174 del/ins) with cervical cancer risk. Studies were searched in Scopus, Pubmed, Embase, and CNKI until December 2017. Both fixed-effects and random-effects models were applied to combine odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). A total of 11 studies including 7856 participants were identified. The pooled estimation revealed an increased risk of cervical cancer in Caucasian subjects carrying the C allele of the TLR9 1486 T/C polymorphism (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.11-1.92, p = 0.007), while there was a decreased risk in Mixed subjects carrying the C allele (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15-0.82, p = 0.016). Concerning the TLR9 G2848A polymorphism, the A allele was associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer in Caucasians (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.02-1.40, p = 0.030), whereas Asian and Mixed subjects showed no significant associations. No significant associations were demonstrated between the TLR2-196 to -174 del/ins polymorphism and cervical cancer. Our findings suggest that the TLR9 1486 T/C and G2848A polymorphisms contribute to cervical cancer risk, but there is no association of the TLR2-196 to -174 del/ins polymorphism with cervical cancer.
