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

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, and efforts to understand its etiology has followed a paradigm that common genetic variation in the presence of modifiable environmental factors contribute to disease risk. To date, there are numerous reports of candidate gene association studies suggesting an involvement of genetic loci in childhood ALL risk, but the general lack of consistency in results has underscored the need for careful interpretation and confirmation in additional well-designed studies. Complementary efforts using the genome-wide association study approach have shown indisputable evidence that common low penetrance genetic polymorphisms contribute to childhood ALL risk. However, current calculations show that these established disease loci only explain a portion of the total estimated contribution of common genetic variation on childhood ALL risk. Certain candidate gene loci previously examined likely contribute to this unexplained variation in risk, but the challenge moving forward will be to establish which ones based on the accumulating evidence. In this review, we describe the results of the most recent gene association studies in childhood ALL and discuss options for future efforts to advance this area of research.
