TFF1 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (rs3761376) and colorectal cancer risk.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionTrefoil Factor 1 (TFF1) is a secretory peptide with gastrointestinal protective functions. Abnormal TFF1 expression is reported in some cancers and functional promoter polymorphism in TFF1 is believed to be associated with risk of gastric cancer. We evaluated rs3761376 in a sample of Iranian patients with colorectal cancer.
methodsPeripheral blood samples were taken from pathology confirmed cases of colorectal cancer and healthy volunteers. Genotyping was carried out using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) PCR. Any association with clinicopathologic data was assessed by SPSS version 19.
resultsA total of 245 participants, including 122 patients with cancer and 123 non-cancer subjects were enrolled. Age, body mass index, and smoking habits were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). Distribution of TFF1 genotypes was not found to be associated with colorectal cancer. However, distant metastasis was more prevalent in carriers of the mutant allele.
conclusionTFF1 rs3761376 was not associated with colorectal cancer but it may be involved in metastasis. Therefore, further investigation is warranted to determine this relationship.
