Impact of rs12917 MGMT Polymorphism on [
Article in Molecular imaging and biology, 2019. 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
purposeThe enzyme O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is an important component of the DNA repair machinery. MGMT removes O6-methylguanine from the DNA by transferring the methyl group to a cysteine residue in its active site. Recently, we detected the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs12917 (C/T) in the MGMT sequence adjacent to the active site in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cell line KM-H2. We now investigated whether this SNP is also present in other HL cell lines and patient samples. Furthermore, we asked whether this SNP might have an impact on metabolic response in 2-deoxy-2-[ PROCEDURES: We determined the frequency of this MGMT polymorphism in 5 HL cell lines and in 29 pediatric HL (PHL) patients. The patient cohort included 17 female and 12 male patients aged between 4 and 18 years. After characterization of the sequence, we tested a possible association between rs12917 and age, gender, Ann Arbor stage, treatment group, metabolic response following two courses of OEPA (vincristine, etoposide, prednisone, and doxorubicin) chemotherapy, radiotherapy indication, and relapse status.
resultsWe detected the minor T allele in four of five HL cell lines. 11/29 patients carried the minor T allele whereas 18/29 patients showed homozygosity for the major C allele. Interestingly, we observed significantly better metabolic response in PHL patients carrying the rs12917 C allele resulting in a lower frequency of radiotherapy indication.
conclusionMGMT polymorphism rs12917 seems to affect chemotherapy response in PHL. The prognostic value of this polymorphism should be investigated in a larger patient cohort.
