Lack of Association between IFN-γ, CXCL10 and TGF-β1 Gene Polymorphisms and Liver Complication in HIV-infected Thais.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveChronic liver disease has become a leading cause of illness and death in people living with HIV and the production of the cytokines IFN-γ and TGF-β1, and chemokine CXCL10 during chronic inflammation contributes to liver disease progression in HIV patients under long-term anti-retroviral therapy. This study aimed to examine association of IFN-γ +874T/A, CXCL10 G-201A and C-1596T, and TGF-β1 -509C/T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with liver complications in the HIV-infected Thais.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 200 Thai HIV patients who were evaluated for transaminitis and significant liver fibrosis by fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4), and genotypes for IFN-γ +874T/A, CXCL10 G-201A and C-1596T, and TGF-β1 -509C/T SNPs using PCR-based methods.
resultThere were high rates of transaminitis (30.1%) and significant liver fibrosis assessed by FIB-4 score > 1.45 (18.8%) in this group of patients, mostly under anti-retroviral therapy (73.0%). The genotypes and alleles of IFN-γ +874T/A, CXCL10 G-201A and C-1596T, and TGF-β1 -509C/T SNPs were not associated with either transaminitis or FIB-4 score > 1.45 (p > 005). Logistic regression analysis identified age and gender as risk factors, and CD4+ cell count higher than 350 cells/ul as a protective factor of liver fibrosis in this study group.
conclusionThe IFN-γ +874T/A, CXCL10 G-201A and C-1596T, and TGF-β11 -509C/T SNPs were not significantly associated with liver complication in HIV-infected Thais, mostly under ART.
