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

backgroundGrowing evidence suggested that B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) polymorphisms raised the susceptibility to a wide range of cancers. This study aimed to evaluate whether BTLA variants were related to the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

methodsA total of 721 ESCC patients and 1208 matched non-cancer controls were included in this research, and four tagging BTLA polymorphisms (rs2171513 G > A, rs3112270 A > G, rs1982809 G > A, and rs16859629 T > C) were selected and genotyped using SNPscan™ Assays.

resultsIn the present study, no significant relationship between BTLA polymorphisms and ESCC was observed. However, stratified analyses suggested that the variant of BTLA rs3112270 A > G reduced the risk of ESCC in the male subgroup (AG vs AA: adjusted OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.61-0.99, P = .042), BMI < 24 kg/m

conclusionTaken together, our initial investigation postulated that the rs3112270 A > G and rs2171513 G > A variants in the BTLA gene are candidates for the risk of ESCC, which might be helpful for the early diagnosis and treatment of ESCC.
