1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundGenome-wide association studies have identified genes in the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling pathway that are responsible for regulating carcinogenesis.

methodsWe searched for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) that might affect the ability of miRNAs to bind genes in the TGFβ pathway for further analysis. We used TaqMan technology to genotype these SNPs in a population-based case-control study of 1147 colorectal cancer patients and 1203 matched controls in a Chinese population.

resultsThe rs1590 variant of TGFBR1 exhibited a significant association with colorectal cancer risk. Compared with individuals carrying the rs1590 TT genotype, individuals carrying the GT/GG genotypes had a decreased risk of colorectal cancer [odd ratio (OR) = 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.68-0.97], which was more evident among older individuals with a family history of cancer. Luciferase assays confirmed that the rs1590 T allele altered the capacity of miR-532-5p to bind TGFBR1.

conclusionsBased on these findings, the rs1590 variant in the 3'-UTR of TGFBR1 may contribute to the susceptibility to colorectal cancer, predominantly by altering miR-532-5p binding.
