1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe KRAS gene has a pathophysiological role in the development of many cancers. This study aims to investigate the relationship between KRAS polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to breast cancer.

methodThe rs712, rs12587 and rs9266 gene loci in the KRAS gene of 421 subjects (141 breast cancer patients, 141 benign breast tumours and 139 healthy controls) were analysed by the polymerase chain reaction and SNaPshot sequencing. Transcriptomic information on KRAS and corresponding clinical information was downloaded from the TCGA and GTEx databases. Differences in KRAS expression between breast cancer tissues and control tissues were analysed.

resultsWe found no significant association between KRAS rs712 and rs12587 locus gene polymorphisms and an increased risk of developing benign breast tumours and breast cancer (p > 0.05). The KRAS rs9266 locus mutation heterozygous model CT and dominant model CT + TT were significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer (both p < 0.05). In addition, the TAT haplotype was expressed at an increased frequency, and the GAC haplotype was expressed at a reduced frequency in breast cancer compared with controls (both p < 0.05). We found that KRAS was over expressed in breast cancer tumour tissues compared with the control tissues (p < 0.0001).

conclusionThe KRAS rs9266 gene polymorphism and the TAT haplotype may be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in Chinese women. The GAC haplotype may be a protective factor against breast cancer.
