Novel Mutations of the CHRNA3 Gene in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in an Iranian Population
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related worldwide deaths, largely results from the combined effects of smoking exposure and genetic susceptibility. CHRNA3, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene, is associated with lung cancer risk. This study sought to identify variations in exon 3 of CHRNA3 in an Iranian population with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and methods: A case-control study including 147 individuals with lung cancer and 145 healthy individuals was conducted. As mobility shift caused by nucleotide substitutions might be due to a conformational change of single-stranded DNAs, we designated these as single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs). PCR amplified products with SSCP were subjected to DNA sequencing. Results: The sequencing results showed 3 polymorphisms in exon 3 of CHRNA3, rs8040868, rs763384023 and rs2869547 , the latter two of which have not been reported in NSCLC, previously. Conclusion: It appears that the rs8040868 may be considered as a pathogenic mutation associated with the clinical phenotype. Polymorphisms are important factors for development of cancers and may provide additional insights into mechanisms underlying NSCLC.
