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

objectiveThe present study aimed to explore the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) genetic polymorphisms and breast cancer risk.

methodsA total of 219 patients with breast cancer and 321 cases of females without breast cancer were enrolled for the present study. PCR-RFLP method was used to genotype 3 SNPs of the VDR gene (rs1544410, rs7975232 and rs731236). ELISA method was used to detect the amount of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the plasma. The results were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software.

resultsWe found rs7975232 was associated with breast cancer risk. Compared with GG genotype carriers, TT subjects had a lower risk of breast cancer (P = 0. 004, OR = 0.774, 95% CI: 0.212~0.955). However, there was no difference in 1,25(OH)2D3 levels among the different genotypes. In addition, the distribution frequency of the haplotype A-G-T in the patients group was 4.4%, significantly higher than the control group (0.7%, P = 0.003; OR=2.643, 95% CI: 1.631~7.012), while the distribution of haplotype G-T-T in the patient group was significantly lower than in the control group (17.3% vs. 28.4%, P = 0.011, OR = 0.543, 95% CI: 0.325~0.854).

conclusionsThe VDR gene was associated with breast cancer pathogenesis; females carrying the haplotype G-T-T had a lower breast cancer risk, while the haplotype A-G-T conferred a higher risk.
