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

Numerous evidence has revealed that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with liver cancer risk. To assess whether the MIR17HG polymorphisms are associated with the liver cancer risk in the Chinese Han population, we performed a case-control (432 liver cancer patients and 430 healthy controls) study. Genotyping of four variants of MIR17HG was performed with the Agena MassARRAY platform. We used χ2 test to compare the distribution of SNPs allele and genotypes frequencies of cases and controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression analysis to evaluate the association under genetic models. The results indicated that the rs7318578 was significantly associated with increased the risk of liver cancer in the allele (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.18-1.77, P=3.04E-04), recessive (OR = 3.69, 95% CI: 2.45-5.56, P=4.52E-10) and additive model (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.13-1.62, P=0.001). Moreover, we found that individuals with the genotype CC of rs7318578 presented with an increased risk of liver cancer (OR = 3.03, 95% CI: 1.98-4.65, P=3.83E-07); however, the CA genotype of rs7318578 significantly decreased the risk of liver cancer (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.45-0.83, P=0.001, compared with those with the AA genotype. Our findings indicated that MIR17HG polymorphism (rs7318578) contributes to liver cancer susceptibility to the Chinese Han population. Further studies with larger samples are required to confirm the results, as well as functional studies to determine the role of this SNP in miRNA expression or molecular pathways.
