Association between the TGFB1 -509C/T and TGFBR2 -875A/G polymorphisms and gastric cancer: a case-control study.

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
The transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) pathway plays an important role in various types of human cancer. However, the role of TGFB1 -509C/T and TGFBR2 -875A/G polymorphisms in gastric cancer is controversial. We aimed to investigate the associations between these polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility, clinicopathological parameters and survival. A case-control study was conducted in 1,010 gastric cancer patients and 1,500 healthy controls. Genotypes were determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing. Compared with the TT genotype, the TGFB1 -509 C allele (CT/CC) was significantly associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.58-0.87; p=0.001) and certain subtypes of gastric cancer including intestinal type (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57-0.87; p=0.001), poorly differentiated (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.54-0.85; p=0.001) and stage TNM III+IV (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.58-0.92; p=0.008). Compared with the TGFBR2 -875 GG genotype, carriers of the A allele (AA/AG) had a significantly decreased gastric cancer risk (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.62-0.91; P<0.001). A combination of the TGFB1 -509 C and TGFBR2 -875 A alleles was associated with a further decreased risk of gastric cancer (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.32-0.57, p<0.001). No significant correlation was observed between polymorphisms and survival of gastric cancer patients. Our results suggest that both the TGFB1 -509 and TGFBR2 -875 polymorphisms contribute to a decreased gastric cancer risk. The TGFB1 -509 polymorphism affects certain subtypes of gastric cancer according to clinicopathological parameters. A combination of the TGFB1 -509 C and TGFBR2 -875 A alleles conferred a further decreased gastric cancer risk. These findings provide clues to the biological mechanisms that underline tumor heterogeneity.
