Two co-inherited SNPs of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene are associated with Iraqi patients with lung cancer.

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: The telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene is essential polymorphic loci linked to most malignant tumors. This study assessed the association between the TERT gene and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in Iraq. Methods: Genomic DNA samples were extracted from a total of 200 samples of blood. Four specific PCR fragments were designed to amplify four high-frequency rs2735940, rs2736098, rs2736100, and rs10069690 SNPs within the TERT gene. Single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) followed by sequencing reactions were used for genotyping and validating the amplified fragments.
