Polymorphisms in the FTO Gene and Their Association With Cancer Risk: A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis 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. 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
backgroundThis meta-analysis aimed to clarify the connection between six polymorphisms in the FTO gene and susceptibility to cancer.
methodsThe relevant literature on the relationship between FTO variants and cancer susceptibility was comprehensively gathered from PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Medline, and Web of Science prior to May 20, 2024.
resultsOur analysis revealed that FTO rs9939609 had a certain correlation with an elevated cancer risk within the Asian demographic q vs. r (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.07-1.39, p = 0.003); rq + qq vs. rr (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.04-1.35, p = 0.011); qq vs. rr + rq (OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.39-2.27, p = 0.001). Additionally, FTO rs1477196 was linked to a higher risk of thyroid cancer qq vs. rr + rq (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.13-1.91, p = 0.004) and remarkably relevant to an increased cancer susceptibility for Caucasians (q vs. r (OR = 1.29, 95% CI =1.06-1.57, p = 0.009); rq + qq vs. rr (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.04-1.80, p = 0.024)). In the stratified analysis of rs8047395, the results indicated that rs8047395 had a certain correlation with cancer susceptibility for thyroid cancer q vs. r (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.51, p = 0.041) and qq vs. rr + rq (OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.24-1.91, p < 0.01).
conclusionFTO rs9939609 showed a correlation with cancer risk among individuals of Asian descent. FTO rs1477196 was correlated with an increased risk for thyroid cancer and remarkably relevant to an increased cancer susceptibility for Caucasians. FTO rs8047395 was associated with the risk of thyroid cancer.
