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

Variation in penetrance estimates for BRCA1/2 carriers suggests that other environmental and genetic factors may modify cancer risk in carriers. The GSTM1, T1 and P1 isoenzymes are involved in metabolism of environmental carcinogens. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene is absent in a substantial proportion of the population. In GSTP1, a single-nucleotide polymorphism that translates to Ile112Val was associated with lower activity. We studied the effect of these polymorphisms on breast cancer (BC) risk in BRCA1/2 carriers. A population of 320 BRCA1/2 carriers were genotyped; of them 262 were carriers of one of the three Ashkenazi founder mutations. Two hundred and eleven were affected with BC (20 also with ovarian cancer (OC)) and 109 were unaffected with BC (39 of them had OC). Risk analyses were conducted using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for origin (Ashkenazi vs non-Ashkenazi). We found an estimated BC HR of 0.89 (95% CI 0.65-1.12, P=0.25) and 1.11 (95% CI 0.81-1.52, P=0.53) for the null alleles of GSTM1 and GSTT1, respectively. For GSTP1, HR for BC was 1.36 (95% CI 1.02-1.81, P=0.04) for individuals with Ile/Val, and 2.00 (95% CI 1.18-3.38) for carriers of the Val/Val genotype (P=0.01). An HR of 3.20 (95% CI 1.26-8.09, P=0.01), and younger age at BC onset (P=0.2), were found among Val/Val, BRCA2 carriers, but not among BRCA1 carriers. In conclusion, our results indicate significantly elevated risk for BC in carriers of BRCA2 mutations with GSTP1-Val allele with dosage effect, as implicated by higher risk in homozygous Val carriers. The GSTM1- and GSTT1-null allele did not seem to have a major effect.
