Association between PDCD6-VNTR polymorphism and urinary cancer susceptibility.
Article in Genes & genomics, 2024. 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
backgroundProgrammed cell death 6 (PDCD6) is known to be involved in apoptosis and tumorigenesis. Given the reported association with urinary cancer susceptibility through SNP analysis, we further analyzed the entire genomic structure of PDCD6.
methodsThree VNTR regions (MS1-MS3) were identified through the analysis of the genomic structure of PDCD6. To investigate the association between these VNTR regions and urinary cancer susceptibility, genomic DNA was extracted from 413 cancer-free male controls, 267 bladder cancer patients, and 331 prostate cancer patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to analyze the PDCD6-MS regions. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the association between specific genotypes and cancer risk. In addition, the effect of specific VNTRs on PDCD6 expression was also confirmed using a reporter vector.
resultsAmong the three VNTR regions, MS1 and MS2 exhibited monomorphism, while the MS3 region represented polymorphism, with its transmission to subsequent generations through meiosis substantiating its utility as a DNA typing marker. In a case-control study, the presence of rare alleles within PDCD6-MS3 exhibited significant associations with both bladder cancer (OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.33-4.95, P = 0.019) and prostate cancer (OR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.03-4.36, P = 0.038). Furthermore, through luciferase assays, we validated the impact of the MS3 region on modulating PDCD6 expression.
conclusionsThis study suggests that the PDCD6-MS3 region could serve as a prognostic marker for urinary cancers, specifically bladder cancer and prostate cancer. Moreover, the subdued influence exerted by PDCD6-MS3 on the expression of PDCD6 offers another insight concerning the progression of urinary cancer.
