Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and its interactions with environmental factors on renal cell carcinoma risk.
Article in Genes and environment : the official journal of the Japanese Environmental Mutagen Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
aimsWe designed a case-control study to investigate the effect of vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and possible gene- environment interaction on the susceptibility of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
methodsGeneralized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was used to find out the interaction combinations between SNPs and environmental factors, including gene- gene synergy and gene environment synergy effect. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between the four SNPs in VDR gene and RCC, and the significant interaction combinations found by GMDR model were analyzed by hierarchical analysis.
resultsThe genotype distribution of the control group was in accordance with Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of RCC in VDR-rs7975232 A allele carriers was significantly higher than that of CC genotype carriers (CA + AA vs. CC), adjusted OR (95 % CI) = 1.75 (1.26-2.28). We used GMDR model to screen the best synergistic model between the four SNPs of VDR gene and smoking and drinking. We found a significant two locus model (P = 0.0010) involving rs7975232 and smoking. The cross- validation consistency of the two- locus model was 10/ 10, and the accuracy was 60.72 %. Compared with non-smokers with rs7975232 -CA or AA genotype, smokers with rs7975232 -CC genotype had the highest risk of RCC, or (95 % CI) = 2.23 (1.42-3.09), after adjustment for covariates.
conclusionsWe found that the A allele of rs7975232 within VDR gene, interaction between rs7975232 and smoking were all associated with increased RCC risk.
