Association of glutathione S-transferase omega gene polymorphisms with progression of head and neck cancer.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This study investigated the influence of glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1) and GSTO2 gene polymorphisms on susceptibility and aggressiveness of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). A case-control study consisting of 300 HNSCC cases and 299 age and sex- matched normal control was performed. Genotyping of GSTO1*A140D and GSTO2*N142D polymorphisms was determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Our results revealed that the frequencies of GSTO1 and GSTO2 genotypes were not significantly different between HNSCC cases and controls. No significant differences were found in smoking or drinking status between cases and controls. However, HNSCC individuals with the GSTO1*D140 varient were significantly associated with nodal metastasis (OR = 0.53, 95 %CI = 0.31-0.91, P = 0.020) and advanced pathological stage (OR = 0.33,95 %CI = 0.15-0.70, P = 0.032), while no significant association was observed between GSTO2 genotype and clinicopathological features. Therefore, our findings suggest that the GSTO1*D140 variant genotype in individuals might play a protective role against the aggressiveness of HNSCC.
