Association of HLA-A, B, and C alleles and cancer susceptibility in 179 solid malignancies.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are known to be capable of influencing the susceptibility of many cancers. All mammalian cells, including cancer cells, express MHC class I molecules consisting of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) A, B, and C. The tumor susceptibility of HLA-A, B, and C alleles has not been studied extensively in solid tumors.
methodsHLA-A, B, and C genotypes of 179 solid tumors were collected from Caris Comprehensive Tumor Profiling reports, including 45 GU, 44 GI, 28 pancreaticobiliary, 21 thoracic, 15 breast, 13 Gyn, among others. The tumors were mainly from Caucasians (82%). The HLA allele frequencies in the tumors were compared to those of respective ethnic populations in the US National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) database. Fisher's exact tests were performed, adjusted
resultsTwenty-one alleles were not listed in the NMDP. Among them, A*11:303 alone was present in 11 carcinomas, and B*08:222 was seen in 4 tumors. Among the alleles listed in the NMDP, C*08:02, B*14:02, A*03:02, and B*44:06 were significantly associated with tumors in Caucasian Americans (PR: 2.50-170), while B*44:02 appeared protective (PR: 0.36). Alleles with less significant associations were listed.
conclusionsFrom the HLA-A, B, and C data of the 179 tumors, we identified several susceptible alleles and one protective allele. Of interest, 21 alleles were not listed in the NMDP. The limited cases prevented our analysis from identifying cancer-susceptible alleles in other races.
