Correlation between FAS single nucleotide polymorphisms and breast carcinoma susceptibility in Asia.

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
backgroundFAS cell surface death receptor (FAS) gene has 2 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in its promoter, FAS-1377G > A (rs2234767) and FAS-670A > G (rs1800682). Several studies have investigated the role of these 2 polymorphisms in etiology of breast cancer in Asian population while the outcomes are inconsistent. To derive a more precise assessment of the association between breast cancer susceptibility with FAS gene promoter SNPs, a meta-analysis of published studies was performed. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Chinese biomedical database (CBM) for papers published until November 1, 2018. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidential interval (95%CI) was conducted to evaluate the associations. Statistical analysis was conducted using Stata13.0 software. A total of 8 studies covering 2564 cases and 2633 controls were included.
resultsThe integrated results suggest the following: For the FAS-1377G/A polymorphism, we only found significant associations for allele G vs allele A (OR = 1.100, 95%CI = 1.004-1.206, P = .040). After stratification by ethnicity, a significant association was observed only for the AA+GA vs GG genotype in East Asian populations (OR = 1.177, 95% CI = 1.010-1.371, P = .037). The association was not found in West Asian populations. For the FAS -670A/G polymorphism, no association with cancer risk was found in any comparison model. Sensitivity analysis suggests that the meta-analysis results obtained after excluding any single study were similar to the original ones, suggesting that the meta-analysis results were not significantly affected by any single study.
conclusionThese results indicated that FAS-1377G/A polymorphism may contribute to the increased breast cancer susceptibility and could be a promising target for cancer risk prediction. Further studies are needed to determine if the FAS gene confers a risk of breast cancer in other ethnic groups, such as Africans and Latin Americans.
