IL-27 rs153109 polymorphism increases the risk of colorectal cancer in Chinese Han population.

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
IL-27, a new member of the IL-12 family, has been found to have antitumor effects in colorectal cancer (CRC); therefore, polymorphisms of this protein may modulate CRC carcinogenesis. So, we studied the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the IL-27 gene with the risk of CRC occurrence using a case-control using 600 CRC patients and matched healthy controls. The IL-27 rs153109 polymorphism was analyzed with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing methods. Data indicate that GG, GA, and combined A-variant genotypes (GG + GA) conferred significantly greater risk of CRC (P=0.034, 0.002, and 0.001, respectively), and that G alleles were associated with higher susceptibility to CRC (P=0.001). However, no correlation was found between the IL-27 rs153109 polymorphism and particular clinical features. In conclusion, our data demonstrated a clear association of IL-27 rs153109 polymorphism and the risk of CRC development.
