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

Analysis of a subset of case-control sporadic breast cancer data, [from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) initiative], focusing on 18 breast cancer-related genes with 304 SNPs, indicates that there are many interesting interactions that form two- and three-way networks in which BRCA1 plays a dominant and central role. The apparent interactions of BRCA1 with many other genes suggests the conjecture that BRCA1 serves as a protective gene and that some mutations in it or in related genes may prevent it from carrying out this protective function even if the patients are not carriers of known cancer-predisposing BRCA1 mutations. The method of analysis features the evaluation of the effect of a gene by averaging the effects of the SNPs covered by that gene. Marginal methods that test one gene at a time fail to show any effect. That may be related to the fact that each of these 18 genes adds very little to the risk of cancer. Analysis that relates the ratio of interactions to the maximum of the first-order effects discovers significant gene pairs and triplets.
