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

Calcium, vitamin D, exposure to sunshine, and vitamin D receptor (VDR) genotypes have been associated rectal cancer. We used data from 750 rectal tumors and 1,205 population-based controls examine associations with TP53, KRAS2, and CpG Island methylator phenotype (CIMP) markers. Rectal tumors were associated with high levels of calcium overall and with TP53 tumor mutations specifically (OR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.42-0.84). High levels of sunshine exposure had a borderline protective effect for TP53 tumor mutations (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.59-1.03). A mutation at codon 248 was significantly associated with dietary calcium intake (OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.09-0.77); having the Ff/ff genotypes of the FOK1 VDR polymorphism significantly increased the odds of a mutation at codon 245 (OR = 4.74, 95% CI = 1.05-21.39); high levels of dietary vitamin D (OR = 3.42, 95% CI = 1.15-10.17) and the Ff/ff genotypes of FOK1 (OR = 3.34, 95% CI = 1.11-10.02) and the GA/AA genotypes of the CDX2 VDR polymorphism (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.23-6.58) increased the odds of a TP53 mutation at codon 273. These data support an association between calcium and rectal tumors overall as well as specifically with TP53 mutations. However, given the number of comparisons, findings need to be confirmed in other studies.
