Impact of xenobiotic-metabolizing gene polymorphisms on breast cancer risk in South Indian women.
Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundFunctional variants of the xenobiotic-metabolizing genes (XMG) might modulate breast cancer (BC) risk by altering the rate of metabolism and clearance of myriad types of potent carcinogens from the breast tissue. Despite mounting evidence on the role of XMG variants on BC risk, the current knowledge regarding their influence on BC development is still fragmentary.
methodsThe present study examined the candidate genetic variants in CYP1A1, NQO1, GST-T1, GST-M1, and GST-P1 in 1002 subjects (502 BC patients and 500 disease-free women). PCR-RFLP was employed to genotype the mono-nucleotide variation in CYP1A1, NQO1, and GST-P1, and allele-specific PCR was used to detect the deletion polymorphism in GST-T1 and GST-M1 genes.
resultsRegarding CYP1A1-M1 polymorphism, the heterozygous TC and mutant CC genotype conferred 1.47-fold (95% CI 1.13-1.91, p = 0.004) and 1.84-fold (95% CI 1.17-2.91, p = 0.009) elevated risk of BC. GST-T1 null genotype was associated with increased BC risk (OR 1.47; 95% CI 1.02-2.11, p = 0.037). For the NQO1 C609T variant, the mutant T allele was associated with BC risk with an odds ratio of 1.22 (95% CI 1.02-1.48, p = 0.034). Combinatorial analysis indicated that the presence of NQO1*2 (CT), CYP1A1-M1 (CC), and GST-P1 rs1695 (AG) genotypes conferred 16.7-fold elevated risk of BC (95% CI 3.65-76.85; p < 0.001). Moreover, GST-M1 null genotype was associated with the development of larger primary breast tumors.
conclusionXenobiotic-metabolizing gene polymorphisms may play a crucial role in mammary carcinogenesis in South Indian women.
