Combined effect of areca nut, cigarettes, alcohol and SNPs in glycosyltransferase family genes on lung cancer development in Hainan, China.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. 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
backgroundAbnormal glycosylation modification is closely related to the development and metastasis of cancers. As a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the WHO, areca nut lacked of combined effect' study with genetic factors related to lung cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effect of polymorphisms of glycosyltransferase family genes and behavioral factors on the susceptibility of lung cancer.
methodsA case‒control study was conducted in Hainan, which included 428 patients with lung cancer and 428 cancer-free controls. Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (FUT2 rs1047781, rs601338, FUT3 rs28362459, rs3745635, ST6Gal-I rs2239611 and MGAT5 rs34944508) were detected by the MassARRAY System. The association between these SNPs and the risk of lung cancer, clinicopathological characteristics, and combined effect of behavioral factors (areca nuts, cigarettes, alcohol) and genotypes on lung cancer were estimated using by logistic regression analysis.
resultsIn this study, individuals with AA genotype in ST6Gal-I rs2239611 significantly increased lung cancer risk (OR
conclusionST6Gal-I rs2239611 was a potential genetic biomarker for lung cancer. Areca nut chewing, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking interacts with glycosyltransferase gene polymorphisms (FUT2 rs1047781 and ST6Gal-I rs2239611), increasing lung cancer risk-a novel finding given the lack of prior studies on this combination.
