Genetic variation in insulin pathway genes and distal colorectal adenoma risk.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundInsulin, glucose, and other insulin-related proteins that mediate insulin signaling are associated with colorectal neoplasia risk, but associations with common genetic variation in insulin axis genes are less clear. In this study, we used a comprehensive tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) approach to define genetic variation in six insulin axis genes (IGF1, IGF2, IGFBP1, IGFBP3, IRS1, and IRS2) and three genes associated with estrogen signaling (ESR1, ESR2, and PGR).
methodsWe assessed associations between SNPs and distal colorectal adenoma (CRA) risk in a case-control study of 1,351 subjects. Cases were individuals with one or more adenomas diagnosed during sigmoidoscopy, and controls were individuals with no adenomas at the sigmoidoscopy exam. We used unconditional logistic regression assuming an additive model to assess SNP-specific risks adjusting for multiple comparisons with P (act).
resultsDistal adenoma risk was significantly increased for one SNP in IGF2 [per minor allele OR = 1.41; 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.16, 1.67; P (act) = 0.005] and decreased for an ESR2 SNP (per minor allele OR = 0.78; 95 % CI = 0.66, 0.91; P (act) = 0.041). There was no statistically significant heterogeneity of these associations by race, sex, BMI, physical activity, or, in women, hormone replacement therapy use. Risk estimates did not differ in the colon versus rectum or for smaller (<1 cm) versus larger (>1 cm) adenomas.
conclusionsThese data suggest that selected genetic variability in IGF2 and ESR2 may be modifiers of CRA risk.
