Associations between gene expression variations and ovarian cancer risk alleles identified from genome wide association studies.
Article in PloS one, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
Functional genetic variations play important roles in shaping phenotypic differences among individuals through affecting gene expression, and thus, very likely to influence disease susceptibility, such as cancer susceptibility. One critical question in this era of post-genome wide association studies (GWAS) is how to assess the functional significance of the genetic variations identified from GWAS. In the current study, with lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from 74 non-related women with familial ovarian cancer and 47 unrelated controls matched on gender and race, we explored the associations between seven ovarian cancer risk variants identified from GWAS (rs3814113 on 9p22.2, rs2072590 on 2q31, rs2665390 on 3q25, rs10088218, rs1516982, rs10098821 on 8q24.21, and rs2363956 on 19p13) and whole genome mRNA expression profiles. We observed 95 significant trans-associations at a permutation level of 0.001. Compared to the other risk variants, rs10088218, rs1516982, and rs10098821 on 8q24.21 had the greatest number of significant associations (25, 16, and 38, respectively). Two possible cis-associations were observed between rs10098821 and c-Myc, and rs2072590 and HS.565379 (Permutated P = 0.0198 and 0.0399, respectively). Pathway enrichment analysis showed that several key biological pathways, such as cell cycle (P = 2.59×10(-06)), etc, were significantly overrepresented. Further characterization of significant associations between mRNAs and risk alleles might facilitate understanding the functions of GWAS discovered risk alleles in the genetic etiology of ovarian cancer.
