SNPs in the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Gene and Obesity Impact on Colorectal Cancer in Egyptians

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 and aims: The insulin pathway may play a role in development of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we investigated associations between CRC and obesity in Egyptians with reference to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) gene. We also studied serum levels of IGF-1in Egyptian CRC patients with different BMI values. Methods: This prospective study included 66 CRC patients and 30 healthy individuals, for whom body mass index (BMI) was estimated, patients and controls being categorized into overweight or obese in one group and average weight in the other. Serum levels of IGF-1 were assessed by ELISA and SNPs in the IGF-I gene at rs6214C/T, rs6220 T/C and rs35767 C/T were examined by PCR- RFLP. Results: Serum levels of IGF-1 were significantly lower in both CRC average weight and overweight cases. IGF-1 could negatively predict CRC at a cut-off of 154 ng/ml with 87.5% sensitivity and 72.6 specificity. IGF-1 rs6214 CT and TT (T allele) genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of CRC. Univariate logistic regression showed that CRC risk significantly decreases by 0.14 for each one unit increase in IGF1. Conclusion: BMI could be considered as effect modifier for CRC risk. IGF-1 SNP rs6214 (TT and CT) are significantly associated with risk regardless of the BMI.
