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

Glutathione S-transferases are a superfamily of multifunctional enzymes that play a key role in Phase II metabolism, detoxifying therapeutic drugs, and various carcinogens by conjugation with glutathione. We undertook a case-control study in Central-Eastern Portuguese population to evaluate the association of null genotype in GSTM1 and GSTT1 along with the polymorphism in GSTP1 (A/G) and susceptibility to breast cancer. The population sample consisted of 85 patients with histological diagnosis of breast cancer and 102 healthy women. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples, and genotyping analyses were performed by PCR-based methods. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression. We found a increased breast cancer risk associated with GSTM1 null genotype (OR = 3.597; 95% CI = 1.849-6.999; P = 0.0001) and GSTT1 (OR = 2.592; 95% CI = 1.432-4.690; P = 0.002), but the presence of valine alleles compared to isoleucine alleles in codon 105 in GSTP1 did not increase the risk of breast cancer development. The two-way combination of GSTM1 and GTTT1 null genotypes resulted in 8-fold increase for breast cancer risk (OR = 8.287; 95% CI = 3.124-21.980; P = 0.0001) and the three-way combination of GSTP1 105AA/AG and null genotypes for both GSTM1 and GSTT1 resulted in 5-fold increase for breast cancer risk (OR = 5.040; 95% CI = 1.392-18.248; P = 0.016). Our results suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype alone, both combined or combined with GSTP1 valine alleles, are associated with higher susceptibility to breast cancer development.
