Common calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene variants do not modify risk for chronic pancreatitis in a Hungarian cohort.
Article in Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ... [et al.], 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) is expressed in the pancreas where it might regulate calcium concentrations in pancreatic secretions. Two independent studies reported conflicting results claiming that commonly occurring missense variants of the CASR gene are risk factors for chronic pancreatitis (CP). Here, we attempted to replicate the association between CASR variants and CP. We analyzed 337 patients and 840 controls from the Hungarian National Pancreas Registry either by direct sequencing of exon 7 and the flanking noncoding regions or by TaqMan SNP genotyping assays. We identified two common missense variants, c.2956G>T (p.A986S), and c.2968A>G (p.R990G), three low-frequency variants, c.3031C>G (p.Q1011E), c.2610G>A (p.E870=) and c.∗60T>A, and 8 rare variants including the novel variant c.1895G>A (p.G632D). When allelic or genotype distributions were considered, none of the CASR variants associated with CP. Subgroup analysis of nonalcoholic versus alcoholic patients revealed no disease association either. Our results demonstrate that common CASR variants do not modify the risk for CP and should not be considered as genetic risk factors in the clinical setting.
