The Association between Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Radiochemotherapy Response in Cervical Cancer.

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
Emerging data reveal that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can act as efficacy indicators for tumor treatment. Here, the association between EGFR R497K (rs11543848) and -216G/T (rs712829) SNPs and radiochemotherapy response in cervical cancer was investigated. EGFR R497K and -216G/T genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-ligation detection reaction in 196 cervical cancer patients receiving radiotherapy alone, or in combination with chemotherapy. Compared with the 497G/G genotype, the A/A genotype significantly increased sensitivity to radiochemotherapy treatment (adjusted OR = 0.244, 95% CI = 0.087-0.680). Sensitivity to radiochemotherapy was not significantly different in carriers of the 'T' allele than that measured for the -216G/G genotype (adjusted OR = 2.412, 95% CI = 0.856-6.979). Additionally, the 497A/A genotype conferred a reduced risk of recurrence or metastasis than did the G/G genotype (adjusted OR = 0.248, 95% CI = 0.078-0.786, P < 0.05). Moreover, carriers of the 'T' allele did not have significantly modified risk of recurrence or metastasis compared with those with the -216G/G genotype (adjusted OR = 1.027, 95% CI = 0.324-3.253). Multivariate analysis revealed an association between clinical stage and treatment response (adjusted OR = 3.575, 95% CI = 1.662-7.692) and between age and the risk of recurrence or metastasis (adjusted OR = 0.319, 95% CI = 0.148-0.691). Our results show that, in patients with cervical cancer, the R497K polymorphism is correlated with treatment response and the risk of recurrence or metastasis. The R497K SNP might be a genetic marker for prediction of radiochemotherapy response and the risk of recurrence and/or metastasis in patients with cervical cancer.
