Association of IL-27 rs153109 and rs17855750 Polymorphisms with Risk and Response to Therapy in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Article in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Interleukin (IL)-27 is a cytokine with important anti-cancer activity. This study has evaluated the effects of IL-27 rs153109 and rs17855750 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) development, as well as their impact on prognosis and patient survival. A total of 200 patients and 210 healthy subjects were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. We observed a higher frequency of rs153109 AG and rs17855750 TG genotypes and allele G in patients compared to controls (p < 0.001). Combined G variant genotypes (AG + GG and TG + GG) also conferred significantly greater risk of ALL. There was a significant correlation between the genotypes of both SNPs with event-free survival (EFS). Patients with GG genotypes of both SNPs and those of rs153109 AG and rs17855750 TG had a shorter EFS than patients with rs153109 AA and rs17855750 TT genotypes (p ≤ 0.035). Combined G variant genotypes for both SNPs showed poorer response to therapy in all patients (p < 0.027) as well as B-ALL (rs153109, p < 0.001) and T-ALL (rs153109, p = 0.048) patients. In multivariate analysis, rs153109 combined G variant genotype was associated with shorter EFS (relative risk = 9.7, p = 0.026). Among those who relapsed, 87.1% had the rs153109 AG genotype and 77.4% had the rs17855750 TG genotype (p < 0.01). Patients had higher IL-27 serum levels compared to controls, but this did not differ between genotypes. In conclusion, the association of IL-27 rs153109 and rs17855750 polymorphisms with risk of ALL development and their impact on EFS suggested an important role for this cytokine in biology and response to ALL therapy.
