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

Aberrant Wnt/beta-catenin signaling leading to nuclear accumulation of the oncogene product beta-catenin is observed in a wide spectrum of human malignancies. The destruction complex in the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is critical for regulating the level of beta-catenin in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Here, we report a comprehensive study of the contribution of genetic variation in six genes encoding the beta-catenin destruction complex (APC, AXIN1, AXIN2, CSNK1D, CSNK1E, and GSK3B) to breast cancer using a Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Case-Control Study. A total of 79 candidate functional and tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were genotyped in 798 invasive cases and 843 unaffected controls. Of these, rs454886 in the APC tumor suppressor gene was associated with increased breast cancer risk (per allele odds ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence intervals, 1.05-1.43; P(trend) = 0.01). In addition, five SNPs in AXIN2 were associated with increased risk of breast cancer (P(trend) < 0.05). Haplotype-based tests identified significant associations between specific haplotypes in APC and AXIN2 (P < or = 0.03) and breast cancer risk. Further characterization of the APC and AXIN2 variants suggested that AXIN2 rs4791171 was significantly associated with risk in premenopausal (P(trend) = 0.0002) but not in postmenopausal women. The combination of our findings and numerous genetic and functional studies showing that APC and AXIN2 perform crucial tumor suppressor functions suggest that further investigation of the contribution of AXIN2 and APC SNPs to breast cancer risk are needed.
