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

Sixteen candidate polymorphisms (13 SNPs and 3 microsatellites) in nine genes from four DNA repair pathways were examined in 83 subjects, comprising 23 survivors of childhood cancer, their 23 partners, and 37 offspring, all of whom had previously been studied for G(2) chromosomal radiosensitivity. Genotype at the Asp148Glu SNP site in the APEX gene of the base excision repair (BER) pathway was associated with childhood cancer in survivors (P = 0.001, significant even after multiple test adjustment), due to the enhanced frequency of the APEX Asp148 allele among survivors in comparison to that of their partners. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of G(2) radiosensitivity in the pooled sample, as well as family-based association test (FBAT) of the family-wise data, showed sporadic suggestions of associations between G(2) radiosensitivity and polymorphisms at two sites (the Thr241Met SNP site in the XRCC3 gene of the homologous recombinational pathway by ANOVA, and the Ser326Cys site in the hOGG1 gene of the BER pathway by FBAT analysis), but neither of these remained significant after multiple-test adjustment. This pilot study provides an intriguing indication that DNA repair gene polymorphisms may underlie cancer susceptibility and variation in radiosensitivity.
