Single nucleotide polymorphism rs2274084 of gap junction protein beta 2 gene among Epstein-Barr virus-associated tumors.
Review in Cancer biomarkers : section A of Disease markers, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundGap junction protein beta 2 gene (GJB2) encodes one of connexins- Connexin 26 (Cx26), which mainly expressed in epithelial cells. Cx26 is usually considered a channel to exchange information between cells, which plays a critical role in tumor cell proliferation.
objectiveWe investigated GJB2 rs2274084 polymorphism in three types of tumors, including nasophoryngeal carcinoma (NPC), gastric cancer (GC) and lymphoma.
methodsProteinase K digestion and phenolchloroform purification and QIAamp DNA FFPE tissue kit was used for DNA extraction. The genotype of GJB2 gene rs2274084 was detected through Sequenom MassARRAY SNP technique. The Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used to compare the differences between two groups.
resultsThe genotype frequency of GJB2 gene rs2274084 was significantly different between EBV-positive NPC and normal control (P< 0.05). However, for EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC), EBV-negative gastric cancer (EBVnGC) and lymphoma, no significant differences were found in comparison with the normal control.
conclusionsThe mutation rate of TT genotype was a risk factor to the occurrence of EBV-positive NPC.
