Lack of association between let-7 binding site polymorphism rs712 and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Article in Familial cancer, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is characterized by its highly invasive and metastatic features. Therefore, screening genetic biomarkers of NPC to achieve early diagnose would be of great value for NPC therapy. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in let-7 miRNA binding site in 3' untranslated region of KRAS mRNA have been found to be associated with various cancer risks. In this study, we genotyped the frequency of KRAS rs712 to test its effect on NPC risk in a hospital-based case-control study in a Chinese population, with 188 histologically confirmed NPC patients and 356 cancer-free controls, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. There was no significant difference in the genotype and allele frequencies of the rs712 polymorphism between the NPC patients and the control group (GT vs. GG, OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.57-1.21; TT vs. GG, OR 1.27, 95% CI 0.58-2.75). Our data suggest that the KRAS rs712 polymorphism in let-7 miRNA binding site has no association with NPC risk. Further experiments with larger sample size or other polymorphism sites are needed to verify the result, especially in different ethnic groups.
