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

Epidemiological studies found inconsistent results on the association of two variants on TGFBR1 (TGFBR1*6A and Int7G24A) with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The present study was aimed to evaluate the association of these two variants with CRC susceptibility via the meta-analysis methods. For variant TGFBR1*6A, nine reports including 6,765 CRC patients and 8,496 unrelated controls were identified. The heterozygotes *6A/*9A showed a significant increased risk of CRC with the pooled OR was 1.12 (95% CI = 1.02-1.23), and the pooled OR for the homozygotes *6A/*6A was 1.13 (95% CI = 0.80-1.58) compared to the homozygotes *9A/*9A. However, under the dominant effect model, the TGFBR1*6A carriers showed a significantly increased CRC risk (pooled OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.03-1.23, *6A/*6A and *6A/*9A vs. *9A/*9A). For variant Int7G24A, three case-control studies with 1,074 cases and 1,945 controls were found. Although no significant association was found for heterozygosity Int7G24A carriers with CRC risk (pooled OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.67-1.42), the homozygosity A/A carriers showed a significant elevated risk of CRC (pooled OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.14-2.47) compared to G/G homozygotes. Under the recessive effect model, homozygotes A/A showed a 71% increase of CRC risk compared to the A/G and G/G genotype carriers (pooled OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.17-2.51). These data strongly suggested that the two polymorphisms of TGFBR1 may confer low-penetrance susceptibility of CRC risk.
