1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

contextDNA damage/repair gene variants are associated with both primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and cancer risk.

objectiveWe hypothesized that a subset of women with POI and family members would have increased risk for cancer.

designCase-control population-based study using records from 1995 to 2022.

settingTwo major Utah academic health care systems serving 85% of the state. SUBJECTS: Women with POI (n = 613) were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes and reviewed for accuracy. Relatives were linked using the Utah Population Database.

interventionCancer diagnoses were identified using the Utah Cancer Registry.

main outcome measuresThe relative risk of cancer in women with POI and relatives was estimated by comparison to population rates. Whole genome sequencing was performed on a subset of women.

resultsBreast cancer was increased in women with POI (OR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.30-3.47; P = .0023) and there was a nominally significant increase in ovarian cancer. Probands with POI were 36.5 ± 4.3 years and 59.5 ± 12.7 years when diagnosed with POI and cancer, respectively. Causal and candidate gene variants for cancer and POI were identified. Among second-degree relatives of these women, there was an increased risk of breast (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.08-1.52; P = .0078) and colon cancer (OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.14-1.94; P = .0036). Prostate cancer was increased in first- (OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.18-2.23; P = .0026), second- (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.32-1.79; P < .001), and third-degree relatives (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.20-1.48; P < .001).

conclusionData suggest common genetic risk for POI and reproductive cancers. Tools are needed to predict cancer risk in women with POI and potentially to counsel about risks of hormone replacement therapy.
