Are Pattern Recognition Receptors Associated with Hepatocellular Carcinoma?

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.
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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the important causes of mortality due to malignancy. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are very important in liver pathophysiology in terms of their roles in the innate immune system, such as the regulation of inflammation, wound healing, stimulation of adaptive immune responses, promotion of epithelial regeneration, and carcinogenesis. In this study, we planned to examine the role of TLR1 (rs4833095, rs5743551) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD2) (rs2066844, rs2066845, rs2066847) polymorphisms in the development of HCC and their effects on the clinical presentation of HCC patients.
methodsOur study was designed prospectively. Cirrhotic and HCC patients who were followed up in our clinic between January 2015 and September 2018 were included in the study. Sex, age, cirrhosis etiology, Child-Pugh class, and MELD scores were recorded. TLR1 and NOD2 polymorphisms were studied by the PCR method.
resultsHCC developed in 88 (31.4%) of the 280 patients who were followed up, either during the recruitment phase of our study or during the follow-up. The mean follow-up time of our patient group was 17.04 ± 11.72 months, and the mean follow-up time of HCC patients was 12.09 ± 10.26 months. TLR1 (rs5743551) polymorphism was associated with HCC development (P = .003). TLR1 (rs5743551) and NOD2 (rs2066844) polymorphisms were associated with the development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in the HCC patient group (P = .013 and P = .021, respectively).
conclusionWe think that increased bacterial translocation in cirrhotic patients may contribute to HCC development by causing chronic inflammation, especially in patients with TLR 1 (rs5743551) polymorphism.
