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

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are known to have a high incidence worldwide and require an early diagnosis to successfully treat them, providing higher survival rates and better quality of life for the patients. MicroRNA-27a is a well-known oncogene that plays a significant role in various GI cancers. It is known to upregulate the expression of numerous oncogenes leading to cancer progression. The miR-27a harbors two polymorphisms rs895819 and rs11671784 which alter the disease susceptibility by interfering with the maturation and expression of miR-27a. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the role played by these polymorphisms in cancers of the GI tract. We conducted a case-control study with 210 GI cancer cases and 210 cancer-free controls to analyze the effect of these polymorphisms. The rs895819 polymorphism was genotyped using PCR-RFLP, and rs11671784 was genotyped on a MassARRAY platform. The association analysis failed to bring out any significant association of the polymorphisms with GI cancer risk. However, genotype-phenotype interaction analysis revealed that the rs895819 was found to increase the risk GI cancers along with the presence of risk factors such as socioeconomic status, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, alcohol consumption, and tobacco chewing.
