Risk of uterine leiomyoma based on BET1L rs2280543 single nucleotide polymorphism and vegetarian diet.
Article in BMC women's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundBet1 Golgi vesicular membrane trafficking protein-like (BET1L) rs2280543 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and diet have been independently associated with uterine leiomyoma (UL). However, whether the SNP and diet could jointly influence the risk of UL is yet to be assessed. Therefore, we investigated the independent and interactive effects of vegetarian diet and BET1L rs2280543 on uterine fibroids in Taiwanese women.
methodsWe linked participants' electronic data in the Taiwan Biobank (TWB) database to their medical records in the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). The TWB had genotypic, lifestyle, and biochemical data between 2008 and 2015 and the NHIRD had data on disease diagnoses between 1998 and 2015. In this study, we included 1997 premenopausal women with complete data.
resultsCompared to participants with the BET1L rs2280543 CC genotype (wildtype), those with CT/CC genotype had an odds ratio (OR) of 0.69 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.51-0.93. Vegetarian diet and UL were not significantly associated: OR = 1.09 and 95% CI = 0.77-1.55. However, the test for interaction between rs2280543 and vegetarian diet was significant (p = 0.046). Compared to individuals with the CC genotype, the risk of UL was lower among vegetarians with the CT/TT genotype: OR (95% CI) = 0.15 (0.05-0.47).
conclusionThe BET1L rs2280543 CT/TT genotype was associated with a lower risk of UL especially among vegetarians.
