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

Identifying genes associated with familial inheritance of breast cancer continues to be a major goal of current research as the known high penetrance genes could be attributable for only a small percentage of the risk. So, it is hypothesized that the low penetrance genes may also modify the risk for familial breast cancer. In the present case-control study, undertaken to examine the influence of polymorphisms of GSTs in familial and sporadic breast cancer susceptibility, 597 women including 222 sporadic breast cancer patients, 125 familial breast cancer patients and 250 females with no history of cancer as controls were genotyped by PCR based methods. Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusted to age. Interestingly, GSTM1 deletion was found to be significantly associated only with familial breast cancer (OR = 2.0; 95%CI = 1.252-3.128) while GSTT1 was associated only with sporadic breast cancer (OR = 2.3; 95%CI = 1.336-3.970). GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism was associated neither with sporadic nor familial breast cancer susceptibility (P value > 0.05). The GST genotypes did not have any effect on the survival of both familial and sporadic breast cancer patients. However, familial breast cancer patients with GSTM1 null genotype had a relative risk of 0.42 (95%CI = 0.18-0.97) for an advanced disease stage. The results indicate that, in addition to the known high penetrance genes, certain low penetrance genes may also play a role, in the familial inheritance of breast cancer. It is also noticed that all the polymorphisms associated with sporadic breast cancer are not associated with familial breast cancer.
