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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) polymorphisms and pancreatic cancer (PC) risk. A total of 7 XPC tagging SNPs (tag-SNPs) were selected from the International HapMap Project Databases (rs2228001A/C, rs2470353G/C, rs2228000C/T, rs3731114C/G, rs3729587G/C, rs2607775C/G and rs3731055G/A) and were genotyped in 205 patients with PC and 230 non-cancer control subjects using a SNaPshot assay. The C allelic gene frequency of rs2470353 was higher in patients with PC compared with that in the control group (P=0.003). Compared with the GG gene type, PC risk was increased in subjects with GC and GC+CC gene types (P=0.012 and P=0.006, respectively). PC risk increased 3.505-fold for the subjects who were heavy smokers (tobacco, ≥25 packets/year) with the GC+CC gene type (P=0.008). The G allelic gene frequency of rs2607775 was higher in PC patients compared with that in the control group (P=0.003). Compared with the CC gene type, PC risk increased in subjects with CG and CG+GG gene types (P=0.013 and P=0.005, respectively). Furthermore, PC risk increased 3.950-fold in subjects who were heavy smokers (tobacco, ≥25 packets/year) with the CG+GG gene type (P=0.001). Haplotype analysis further revealed that the CCC haplotype of rs2228000, rs3731114 and rs3729587 increased PC risk (odds ratio, 1.610; 95% confidence interval, 1.035-2.481; P=0.034). The present study revealed that XPC gene polymorphisms could increase the risk of PC in the study population, particularly among heavy smokers.
