Associations of IL-12, IL12R polymorphisms and serum IL-12 levels with high-risk human papillomavirus susceptibility in rural women from Luohe, Henan, China.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundInterleukin 12 (IL-12) and interleukin 12 receptor (IL12R), key inflammatory cytokines in the immune system, participate in bridging the innate immunity and adaptive immunity. No previous work has reported the role of IL-12 and IL12R in high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) susceptibility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of IL-12, IL12R polymorphisms, and serum IL-12 levels with hrHPV susceptibility in rural women from Luohe, Henan, China.
methodsTwo hundred sixty cases with hrHPV infection and 260 healthy controls were selected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect the serum IL-12 levels, and the polymorphisms of IL12B rs3212227, IL12RB1 rs393548, and IL12RB1 rs436857 were determined using DNA sequencing.
resultsThe serum IL-12 levels were significantly lower in cases with hrHPV infection compared with those in healthy controls (P < .01).There was no significant difference in IL12 rs3212227, IL12RB1rs436857, and IL12RB1rs393548 genotype and allele frequencies between cases and controls (P > .05). Furthermore, with respect to the IL12 rs3212227 polymorphism with serum IL-12 levels, although serum IL-12 levels were lower in cases than in controls, we did not find any differences between serum IL-12 levels and genotypes in cases(P > .05).
conclusionsOur data demonstrates that low serum IL-12 levels may be associated with hrHPV susceptibility but are not associated with IL-12 gene polymorphisms; furthermore, IL-12 and IL12R gene polymorphisms may not contribute susceptibility to hrHPV in rural women from Luohe, Henan, China.
