ABO BLOOD GROUP GENOTYPES IN WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
ABO blood group is a risk factor for several cancers, but it is not clear yet whether the risk of breast cancer is greater in particular ABO blood type carriers. The aim of this case-control study was to examine the correlation between ABO blood group genotypes, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 status as tumor grade markers (I-III), and the occurrence of breast cancer. The research included 59 patients with invasive breast cancer and 80 asymptomatic, healthy women, blood donors. Genomic DNA was isolated using QIAampDNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany). Genotyping was performed using in-house polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) method. Comparison of genotypes and phenotypes of ABO blood groups between patients and control group yielded p>0.05. There was no statistical significance of correlation between ABO genotypes/phenotypes in either patient group or control group. Testing the significance of different tumor grade occurrence, and ER, PR and HER2/neu status showed no statistical significance in the occurrence of a particular tumor grade, or in ER, PR and HER2/neu status as tumor markers in O1A1 genotype compared to non-O1A1 genotypes. Our study results confirmed that there was no correlation between ABO blood type genotypes/phenotypes and breast cancer in study groups.
