Clinical significance of enterocyte-specific gene polymorphisms as candidate markers of oxaliplatin-based treatment for metastatic colorectal 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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be classified into subtypes based on gene expression signatures. Patients with stage III enterocyte subtype of the CRC Assigner classifier have been shown to benefit from oxaliplatin adjuvant therapy. Here, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two enterocyte subtype-related genes, MS4A12 and CDX2, could predict the efficacy of oxaliplatin in first-line treatment for patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC). Three cohorts of patients were included: a discovery cohort receiving FOLFOX ± bevacizumab (BEV) (n = 146), a validation cohort receiving FOLFOXIRI + BEV (n = 230), and a control cohort receiving FOLFIRI + BEV (n = 228). SNPs were analyzed by PCR-based direct sequencing. In the discovery cohort, MS4A12 rs4939378 and CDX2 rs3812863 were identified as potential markers of efficacy. In the validation cohort, any G allele of MS4A12 rs4939378 was associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS) than the A/A variant in both univariate analysis (12.4 vs. 10.9 months, hazard ratio [HR] 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-0.99, P = 0.033) and multivariable analysis (HR 0.65, 95%CI 0.44-0.97, P = 0.035) in patients expressing wild-type KRAS, but not mutant KRAS. In contrast, longer PFS was observed for patients expressing the CDX2 rs3812863 G/G variant than any A allele in univariate analysis (32.3 vs. 10.3 months, HR 0.39, 95%CI 0.19-0.81, P = 0.004) only in patients expressing mutant KRAS. These findings were not observed in the control cohort. Thus, MS4A12 and CDX2 SNPs may have utility as predictive biomarkers of response to oxaliplatin-based treatment in mCRC patients.
