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

Neuroblastoma is the primary cause of cancer death in childhood. METTL14 is tightly linked to cancer. However, whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the METTL14 gene could predispose to neuroblastoma susceptibility lacks evidence. With an epidemiology case-control study, associations between METTL14 gene SNPs and overall risk for neuroblastoma were estimated in 898 cases and 1,734 controls. Following that, stratified analysis was performed. Among the five analyzed SNPs, rs298982 G>A and rs62328061 A>G exhibited a significant association with decreased susceptibility to neuroblastoma, whereas the associations with increased neuroblastoma susceptibility were observed for rs9884978 G>A and rs4834698 T>C. Moreover, subjects carrying two to five risk genotypes were more inclined to develop neuroblastoma than those with zero to one risk genotypes. The stratified analysis further demonstrated the protective effect of rs298982 G>A and rs62328061 A>G, as well as the predisposing effect of rs4834698 T>C and two to five risk genotypes, in certain subgroups. Haplotype analysis was performed. Moreover, false-positive report probability analysis validated the reliability of the significant results. The expression quantitative trait locus analysis revealed that rs298982 is correlated with the expression levels of its surrounding genes. Our results suggest that some SNPs in the METTL14 gene are associated with predisposition to neuroblastoma.
