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

backgroundDuring the past decades, the expansion of molecular development has had a key role in understanding the basis of gynecological cancer. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of different cancers. Here, we evaluated the association of IL-6 -174G>C and -572 G>C polymorphisms with susceptibility to cervical and ovarian cancers in an Iranian population.

methodsA total of 131 cases with ovarian cancer, 124 cases with cervical cancer and 140 healthy subjects were enrolled to the study. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells of subjects to genotype the IL-6 -174G>C and -572 G>C polymorphisms by amplification refractory mutation system (RFLP) polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

resultsThere was a significant association of IL-6 -174G>C CC genotype (OR= 3.231, 95% CI: 1.130-9.239, p=0.029) and C allele (OR = 1.915; 95%CI: 1.266-2.896, p=0.002) with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Moreover, the IL-6 -174G>C CC genotype (OR= 3.162, 95% CI: 1.094-9.141, p=0.034) and C allele (OR = 1.724; 95%CI: 1.129-2.633, p=0.012) was associated with increased risk of cervical cancer.

conclusionsThis study showed that the IL-6 -174G>C polymorphism was associated with ovarian cancer and cervical cancer risk. However, IL-6 -572 G>C polymorphism was not associated.
