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

backgroundAbnormal expression of the mastermind-like transcriptional co-activator 2 (MAML2) gene is oncogenic in several human cancers, including glioma. However, the relevance of MAML2 variants with glioma remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the role of MAML2 polymorphisms in glioma risk and prognosis among the Chinese Han population.

methodsSeven MAML2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped using Agena MassARRAY system among 575 patients with glioma and 500 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between MAML2 polymorphisms and glioma risk by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariate, multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses for hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs were performed to evaluate the contribution of MAML2 polymorphisms to glioma prognosis.

resultsMAML2 rs7938889 and rs485842 polymorphisms were associated with the reduced risk of glioma (OR = 0.69, P=0.023; and OR = 0.81, P=0.032, respectively). Rs7115578 polymorphism had a lower susceptibility to glioma in males (OR = 0.68, P=0.034), while rs4598633 variant with a higher risk in females (OR = 1.66, P=0.016). Additionally, rs7115578 AG genotype represented a poorer prognosis of glioma (HR = 1.24, P=0.033) and astrocytoma (log-rank P=0.037, HR = 1.31, P=0.036). Furthermore, rs11021499 polymorphism had lower overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with low-grade glioma.

conclusionWe provided some novel data suggesting MAML2 polymorphisms might contribute to glioma risk and prognosis. Future studies are warranted to validate these findings and characterize mechanisms underlying these associations.
