Interaction between blood pressure and genetic risk score for bladder cancer, and risk of urothelial carcinoma in men.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. 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
There is substantial genetic predisposition to bladder cancer (BC). Recently, blood pressure (BP) was positively associated with BC risk in men, but the potential interaction with genetic susceptibility for BC is unknown. We investigated a weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) of 18 BC genetic variants, BP, and their interaction, in relation to incident urothelial cancer (UC, n = 385) risk in 10,576 men. We used Cox regression, the likelihood ratio test, and the relative excess risk for interaction to calculate hazard ratios (HR) of UC, multiplicative interaction and additive interaction respectively. There was evidence of a positive additive interaction between SBP and the wGRS in relation to aggressive (P = 0.02) but not non-aggressive (P = 0.60) UC. The HR of aggressive UC was for SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and the upper 50% of the wGRS combined 1.72 (95% CI 1.03-2.87) compared to the counterpart group. Additionally, the 20-year risk of aggressive UC in 60 year-old men was 0.78% in the low SBP/low wGRS group and 1.33% in the high SBP/high wGRS group. Our findings support a potential additive interaction between the wGRS and SBP on aggressive UC among men. If replicated, the findings on interaction may provide biological and public health insight to prevent aggressive UC.
