Low Frequency of Aflatoxin Induced TP53 Gene Codon 249 Mutation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma from Egyptian Patients Living in the Nile Delta Region.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. 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
objectiveStudy the frequency of codon 7 (c.747 G>T, p. R249S) mutation associated with Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure in Egyptian patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methodsWe utilized restriction fragment polymorphism and direct sequencing to assess codon 7 mutations in 104 hepatocellular carcinomas. The expression of TP53 protein in the tumors were assessed in 44 tumors by a monoclonal rabbit antibody.
resultsWe identified a single 1/104 (1%) with c.747 G>T, p. R249S variant. 28/44 (63.6%) tumors showed no or occasional (less than < 5%) nuclear staining; 9/44 (20.4%) showed mild to moderate (5-49%) and 7/44 (15.9%) showed strong ≥ 50% staining.
conclusionWe observed much lower frequency of TP53 gene than previously published results suggesting geographical alterations in AFB1 exposure in Egypt.
