Limitations of lymphoblastoid cell lines for functional analysis of SNPs.
Article in BMC research notes, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are widely linked to the susceptibility and penetrance of diseases. SNP rs886205 (A/G) located in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) promoter is associated with esophageal carcinoma in alcohol-dependent patients. Previously, we found an interaction of the SNP with the methylation of promoter regions as well as the protein levels of ALDH2 in alcohol-dependent patients. To study the DNA-protein interactions involved in rs886205 mediated regulation of ALDH2, we chose lymphoblastoid cell lines harboring AA/GA/GG genotype and acquired two for each genotype from National Human Genome Research Institute repository. We measured the promoter methylation of ALDH2 by using bisulfite sequencing and quantified protein expression of ALDH2 by western blot to compare the cell lines with the previous findings in patients.
resultsDNA methylation showed significant differences not only based on genotype but also due to the different background of the cells owing to their origin from different individuals. Although ALDH2 protein expression seemed to be driven by the rs886205 genotype, results were not in consensus with data from the patient cohorts. Our findings show the limitations of the usage of lymphoblastoid cell lines due to the unavoidable background genetic differences that may influence the effect of SNP.
