XPD, APE1, and MUTYH polymorphisms increase head and neck cancer risk: effect of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.
Article in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
In the present study, we investigated the effect of the DNA repair gene polymorphisms XPD Asp312Asn (G>A), APE1 Asp148Glu (T>G), and MUTYH Tyr165Cys (G>A) on the risk for head and neck cancer (HNC) in association with tobacco use in a population of Northeast India. The study subjects comprised of 80 HNC patients and 92 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed using amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (ARMS-PCR) for XPD Asp312Asn (G>A) and PCR using confronting two-pair primers (PCR-CTPP) for APE1 Asp148Glu (T>G) and MUTYH Tyr165Cys (G>A). The XPD Asp/Asn genotype increased the risk for HNC by 2-fold (odds ratio, OR = 2.072; 95 % CI, 1.025-4.190; p < 0.05). Interaction between APE1 Asp/Asp and XPD Asp/Asn as well as MUTYH Tyr/Tyr and XPD Asp/Asn genotypes further increased the risk by 2.9 (OR = 2.97; 95 % CI, 1.16-7.61; p < 0.05) and 2.3 (OR = 2.37; 95 % CI, 1.11-5.10; p < 0.05) folds, respectively. The risk was further increased in heavy smokers with the XPD Asp/Asn genotype and heavy tobacco chewers with XPD Asn/Asn genotype by 7.7-fold (OR = 7.749; 95 % CI, 2.53-23.70; p < 0.05) and 10-fold (OR = 10; 95 % CI, 1.26-79.13; p < 0.05), respectively. We thus conclude that the XPD Asp312Asn and APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphisms increase the risk for HNC in association with smoking and/or tobacco chewing in the population under study.
