Genetic variation in a metabolic signaling pathway and colon and rectal cancer risk: mTOR, PTEN, STK11, RPKAA1, PRKAG2, TSC1, TSC2, PI3K and Akt1.

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.
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
Serine/threonine protein kinase 11 (STK11) and phosphatase tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) link insulin sensitivity and metabolic signaling to inflammation and other hormonal factors and colorectal cancer. We evaluate genetic variation in nine genes in a candidate pathway as follows: STK11 (3 tagSNPs), PTEN (9 tagSNPs), FRAP1 (mTOR) (4 tagSNPs), TSC1 (14 tagSNPs), TSC2 (8 tagSNPs), Akt1 (2 tagSNPs), PIK3CA (7 tagSNPs), PRKAA1 (13 tagSNPs) and PRKAG2 (68 tagSNPs) in two population-based case-control studies of colon (n = 1574 cases, 1940 controls) and rectal (n = 91 cases, 999 controls) cancer. FRAP1, PRKAA1, PRKAG2 and TSC2 genes were significantly associated with colon cancer; risk estimates ranged from 1.21 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.38] for FRAP1rs1057079 for the AG/GG genotype to 1.51 (95% CI 1.09-2.09) for PRKAG2rs9648723 CC genotype. PIK3CA, PRKAG2, PTEN, STK11 and TSC1 were significantly associated with rectal cancer overall. The strongest association was observed for PIK3CA rs7651265 GG genotype (odds ratio 2.32 95% CI 1.02-5.30). FRAP1 was associated with microsatellite instability (MSI)+ colon tumors; PRKAA1, CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP)+ and MSI+ colon tumors; PRKAG2 and KRAS2 colon tumors; TSC1 and CIMP+ and MSI+ colon tumors; TSC2 with MSI+ colon tumors; PIK3CA with KRAS2-mutated rectal tumors; PRKAG2 (rs6964824) with KRAS2- and TP53-mutated rectal tumors and with PRKAG2 (rs412396 and rs4725431) with CIMP+ rectal tumors. These data suggest that genetic variation in a predefined candidate pathway for colorectal cancer contributes to both colon and rectal cancer risk. Associations appear to be strongest for CIMP+ and MSI+ tumors.
