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

backgroundGenetic susceptibility is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We previously identified rare variants potentially involved in familial NPC and common variants significantly associated with sporadic NPC.

methodsWe conducted targeted gene sequencing of 20 genes [16 identified from the study of multiplex families, three identified from a pooled analysis of NPC genome-wide association study (GWAS), and one identified from both studies] among 819 NPC cases and 938 controls from two case-control studies in Taiwan (independent from previous studies). A targeted, multiplex PCR primer panel was designed using the custom Ion AmpliSeq Designer v4.2 targeting the regions of the selected genes. Gene-based and single-variant tests were conducted.

resultsWe found that NPC was associated with combined common and rare variants in

conclusionsOur findings confirm previously reported associated variants and suggest that some common variants in genes previously linked to familial NPC are associated with the development of sporadic NPC. IMPACT: NPC-associated genes, including
