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

backgroundAberrant telomere lengthening is a critical feature of malignant cells. Short leukocyte telomere length (LTL) confers elevated risk of gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA). Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified various single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with LTL in different ethnic populations. However, it remains largely unexplored how these genetic variants are involved in GCA susceptibility.

methodsWe systematically screened GWAS-identified candidate SNPs and tested the impact of 30 polymorphisms in genes associated with interindividual LTL variation on GCA using two-stage case-control comparisons consisting of 1024 GCA patients and 1118 controls.

resultsWe observed that CXCR4 rs6430612, TERT rs10069690, and rs2853676 as well as VPS34 rs2162440 are significantly associated with GCA development. A 0.64-fold decreased risk of GCA is associated with the CXCR4 rs6430612 CT genotype compared with the CC genotype (P = 0.002). On the contrary, the TERT rs10069690 TT genotype carriers had a 1.83-fold increased risk to develop GCA compared to the CC genotype carriers (P = 5.8×10

conclusionsOur results highlight the importance of both LTL and LTL-related genetic variants to GCA predisposition.
