Is the Genetic Background of Co-Stimulatory CD28/CTLA-4 Pathway the Risk Factor for Prostate Cancer?
Article in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The impairment of immunological surveillance caused by aberrant T cell activation can lead to an inadequate anti-tumor response. Therefore, deregulation in co-stimulatory pathway might be associated with cancer susceptibility. Here we undertook a prospective study to investigate whether genetic variations in gene encoding molecule CD28 and CTLA-4 playing pivotal role in regulating adoptive immune response can influence susceptibility to prostate cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CTLA-4 and CD28 genes were genotyped in 301 prostate cancer (PCa) patients and 301 controls. The distributions of the genotypes and haplotypes in the CTLA-4/CD28 SNPs were similar in both studied groups. However, the overrepresentation of carriers of CTLA-4c.49A>G[A] allele and carriers of CTLA-4g.319C>T[T] allele in PCa as compared to controls was observed (p = 0.082 and p = 0.13, respectively). The risk of disease was higher (OR 1.78) for carriers of both susceptibility alleles as compared to carriers of protective genotypes (p = 0.03). The CTLA-4c.49A>G and CTLA-4g.319C>T SNPs might be considered as low risk susceptibility locus for PCa.
