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

We investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ACYP2, which has been associated with telomere length in several types of cancer, and the risk of CRC in a Chinese Han population. In a case-control study that included 247 cases and 300 healthy controls, 14 SNPs in ACYP2 were selected and genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using unconditional logistic regression after adjusting for age and gender. We determined that rs843711 and rs843706 were associated with an increased risk of CRC (rs843711: OR = 1.376, 95% CI = 1.082-1.749, p = 0.009; rs843706: OR = 1.361, 95% CI = 1.069-1.733, p = 0.012). Additionally, rs6713088, rs843645, rs843711, and rs843706 were associated with an increased risk of CRC under additive and recessive models (p < 0.05). Finally, the "TTCTCGCC" and "CG" haplotypes decreased the risk of CRC, while the "AG" haplotype increase the risk of CRC. The association between rs843711 and CRC remained significant after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (p ≤ 0.00036). Our data shed new light on the associations between genetic variants in the ACYP2 gene and CRC susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.
