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

purposeGiven that mismatch repair (MMR) system plays an important role in recognizing and removing insertion/deletion mutations which occur during DNA replication, common variants associated with impaired MMR system may thus increase risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, we aimed to demonstrate the associations between common variants in two MMR genes (hMLH1 and hMSH2) and CRC risk.

methodsWe genotyped 10 intronic/promoter single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of hMLH1 and hMSH2 in 451 CRC patients and 630 controls. Associations between genotypes and CRC risk were estimated using odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals. Gene-gene interactions, as well as gene-environment interactions on CRC risk were also investigated.

resultsWe found that IVS15-214T>C and IVS11 + 107A>G of hMSH2 were significantly associated with CRC risk. In dominant model, variant carriers of the two SNPs could decrease risk of CRC by 31 % (ORadj = 0.69, 95 % CI 0.53-0.91, p < 0.01) and 33 % (ORadj = 0.67, 95 % CI 0.47-0.95, p = 0.02), respectively. In addition, IVS7-212T>A, IVS11+183A>G and IVS8+719T>C of hMSH2 were associated with the susceptibility to colon cancer rather than rectal cancer. ATTTGGGT and TCTTAGAC haplotypes were associated with 44 and 45 % decreased risk of CRC, respectively, while ATTTGAGT and TTTCAGAC haplotypes were associated with 1.37-fold and 2.49-fold increased risk of CRC, respectively. There was a significant three-way gene-gene interaction among hMSH2 IVS11+107A>G, IVS11+183A>G and IVS8+719T>C (p < 0.01). Significant gene-environment interactions were observed between hMSH2 IVS15-214T>C and IVS11+107A>G and cereals consumption (both with p < 0.01).

conclusionsOur findings suggested that intronic SNPs, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in hMSH2 might be associated with susceptibility to CRC.
