TP53 Arg 72Pro and MDM2 SNP309 polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk: a west Algerian population study.
Article in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The tumor suppressor gene TP53 and its regulator MDM2 are both key players involved in multiple pathways including apoptosis, cellular transcriptional control and cell cycle regulation. Common germline polymorphisms in these genes may affect colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility. An arginine-to-proline substitution at codon 72 in the TP53 gene is reported to decrease apoptotic potential, while a thymine-to-guanine polymorphism at nucleotide 309 (named SNP309) of murine double minute 2 MDM2 gene increases its transcription. These two polymorphisms therefore may be of importance in colorectal carcinogenesis. The relation of these polymorphisms to colorectal cancer in the Algerian population was addressed in this study. DNA samples from 121 controls and 116 cases were genotyped for these two polymorphisms by PCR/RFLP then confirmed by sequencing. Unexpectedly no significant association was found between this potential marker TP53 Arg72Pro and CRC (p > 0.05). However, our findings reveal that individuals with the MDM2 SNP309 GG genotype have a low risk of CRC as compared to the TT genotype (OR = 0.49; 95 % CI: 0.24-0.98, p = 0.04), with more significance for females (OR = 0.16; 95 % CI: 0.06-0.41, p < 0.05). Moreover, no significant association was observed between the combined TP53 and MDM2 genotypes and CRC. Contrary to initial expectations that the GG genotype with high MDM2 levels would increase cancer risk, our results demonstrate that the MDM2 SNP309 GG genotype is associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer. This is suggesting that other mechanisms independent of increased MDM2 levels can influence cancer susceptibility.
