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

backgroundHPV genotypes are the most common etiological factor for genital neoplasia. It would appear that sexually transmitted infections accompanied with HPV genotypes might have synergistic interactions in cancer progression. The genetic polymorphisms are involved in metabolizing carcinogens which may contribute to the susceptibility of developing genital cancers by less efficient or overly down metabolic pathways and cell signaling. MTHFR polymorphisms are related to several metabolic disorders and human cancers. We investigated the contribution of MTHFR 1298 and MTHFR 677 polymorphisms as potential risk factors for outcomes with HPV genotypes and STIs in Iranian population. MATERIALS AND

methodsAs a case-control study, MTHFR A1298C and C677T were assessed for SNPs analysis using a PCR-RFLP assay in 50 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) cases, 98 HPV-positive subjects and 47 non-cancerous/non-HPV patients as healthy controls.

resultsFinding suggested a significant association between the MTHFR 1298 CC polymorphisms (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.13-10.82, DISCUSSION: It would seem MTHFR 1298 CC is more likely to be a potential risk factor for HPV-cervical cancer progression. Consequences support further attempts to understand the clinical manifestations of neoplasia related to genital infections and gene mutations.
