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

Increasingly often, molecular studies of colorectal cancer focus on low penetrance genes. Among the factors potentially modifying the risk of contracting colorectal cancer is the glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene family, encoding enzymes of the glutathione transferase type. Proteins of the GST family (glutathione S-transferases) are enzymes detoxifying a wide range of hazardous substances, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) or xenobionts. Thus, their role, among other things, is the protection of DNA against oxidative damage, which may lead to mutations, and in consequence, favour carcinogenesis. GST gene polymorphisms may affect the functioning of the encoded enzymes, exerting an effect on the level of DNA damage, and therefore may have an indirect influence on the risk of the development of cancer. At present, there are many studies available concerning GST gene polymorphisms as factors modulating the risk of developing cancer, including colorectal cancer.
