Leukocyte telomere length-related genetic variants in ACYP2 contribute to the risk of esophageal carcinoma 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
backgroundShort leukocyte telomere length has been associated with significantly increased risk of esophageal carcinoma. A previous genome-wide association study demonstrated that ACYP2 was associated with leukocyte telomere length. However, the role of ACYP2 genetic variants on esophageal carcinoma susceptibility is still unknown. Therefore, we investigated whether ACYP2 polymorphisms have impact on the risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a case-control study among 386 cases and 495 healthy controls from northwest China. 14 SNPs in ACYP2 were selected and genotyped using Sequenom MassARRAY technology. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression adjusting for age and gender.
resultsWe found that 1.34-fold increased risk of esophageal carcinoma is associated with the rs11125529 A allele compared with the rs11125529 C allele (OR=1.29, 95%CI: 1.02-1.62, p=0.030) under the additive model, after adjusted by age and gender. We also found rs11896604 and rs17045754 loci increased the esophageal carcinoma risk under the additive model (rs11896604: OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.03-1.76, p=0.032; rs17045754: OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.03-1.80, p=0.028). One main linkage block was observed across the locus. This block was comprised of seven closely linked SNPs: rs1682111, rs843752, rs10439478, rs843645, rs11125529, rs843711 and rs11896604. The haplotype analysis detected that haplotype "TTCTATG" increased the risk of esophageal carcinoma (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.04-1.82, p=0.025).
conclusionIn conclusion, ACYP2 gene may be associated with an increased risk of esophageal carcinoma in Chinese Han populations. Future studies to address the biological function of this polymorphism in the development of esophageal carcinoma are warranted.
