The Association Between IL-8 Gene Polymorphisms and the Risk of Several Types of Cancer, Especially in Gastric Cancer.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundChanges in functional genetic polymorphisms may increase or decrease the risk of cancer in patients. Nowadays, the association between polymorphisms in the interleukin-8 (IL-8) gene and the susceptibility of cancer risk have been investigated in many studies, however, above relationships remain unclear.
aimThe current study aims to comprehensively evaluate the association between IL-8 gene six polymorphisms and the whole cancer risk, especially -251 polymorphism and gastric cancer. METHODS AND
resultsSix polymorphisms (-251, -353, +678, +1633, +2767, +781) were collected. The expression of serum IL-8 was calculated by ELISA assay. First, 104 case-control studies were conducted. Second, this research has made significant discoveries regarding the -251, -353 and +781 polymorphisms and the potential associations with cancer risk. Finally, the serum IL-8 levels in gastric cancer patients with AA/TT genotypes were significantly higher than those with the same genotypes of healthy controls and TT genotypes in gastric cancer patients.
conclusionOverall, the investigation has revealed that IL-8 gene polymorphisms significantly influence vulnerability to cancer development, especially for gastric cancer.
