Rare variants confer shared susceptibility to gastrointestinal tract cancer risk.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Cancers arising within the gastrointestinal tract are complex disorders involving genetic events that cause the conversion of normal tissue to premalignant lesions and malignancy. Shared genetic features are reported in epithelial-based gastrointestinal cancers which indicate common susceptibility among this group of malignancies. In addition, the contribution of rare variants may constitute parts of genetic susceptibility. Methods: A cross-cancer analysis of 38,171 shared rare genetic variants from genome-wide association assays was conducted, which included data from 3,194 cases and 1,455 controls across three cancer sites (esophageal, gastric and colorectal). The SNP-level association was performed by multivariate logistic regression analyses for single cancer, followed by association analysis for SubSETs (ASSET) to adjust the bias of overlapping controls. Gene-level analyses were conducted by SKAT-O, with multiple comparison adjustments by false discovery rate (FDR). Based on the significant genes indicated by SKATO analysis, pathways analysis was conducted using Gene Ontology (GO), the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Reactome databases. Results: Meta-analysis in three gastrointestinal (GI) cancers identified 13 novel susceptibility loci that reached genome-wide significance ( Conclusion: Rare variants and the corresponding genes potentially contribute to shared susceptibility in different GI cancer types. The discovery of these novel variants and genes offers new insights for the carcinogenic mechanisms and missing heritability of GI cancers.
