Association of Variants in IL6-Related Genes with Lung Cancer Risk in Moroccan Population.
Article in Lung, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeLung cancer is known to be a complex multifactorial disease, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The study of the different signaling pathways and the identification of the genes involved, will contribute to further understanding the pathogenesis of the disease, thus allowing the development of appropriate targeted treatments. Recently, the link between cancer and inflammation has become more evident and inflammation has been proposed as the seventh hallmark of cancer. Previous studies have suggested that key cytokines involved in inflammation may have an important role in the etiology of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate whether common variants in inflammation-related genes: IL-6, IL6-R, and IL6-ST, influence lung cancer risk in Moroccan population. MATERIALS AND
methodsSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-6, IL6-R, and IL6-ST genes were assessed in 120 controls and 120 patients with confirmed lung cancer diagnosis. Genotyping analysis was performed with the TaqMan® allelic discrimination technology. The results were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 software.
resultsAmong the studied SNPs, we found a significant association for the IL-6 (rs2069840) (OR = 1.63; 95% confidence interval 1.08-2.47; p = 0.01). No significant association was observed for the remaining SNPs of IL-6R (rs2228145) and IL-6ST (rs2228044) genes.
conclusionOur results suggest the IL-6 (rs2069840) polymorphism may influence the occurrence of lung cancer in Moroccan patients.
