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

backgroundBreast cancer is a common malignancy among women, with increasing incidence and mortality rates worldwide. This study examines specific gene polymorphisms in BRCA1, BRCA2, FGFR4, CDKN1B, AURKA, GPX4, TP53, and CASP8 and their association with breast cancer risk among Iranian women, aiming to improve early detection and treatment strategies. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study employed PCR-RFLP and bioinformatics analyses to investigate gene polymorphisms related to breast cancer risk in 200 Iranian patients and 200 controls, with the impacts of SNPs predicted using software tools such as SNPnexus and PolyPhen.

resultsThe study found that certain factors, including age, family history, secondhand smoke exposure, and ovarian cysts, significantly increased breast cancer risk, whereas breastfeeding and active smoking did not show significant associations. Genotype analysis revealed that specific SNPs, including BRCA1 (rs1799950), CDKN1B (rs34330), AURKA (rs2273535), GPX4 (rs713041), and CASP8 (rs1045485), were associated with either increased breast cancer risk or protective effects, while in-silico analysis identified some SNPs as potentially deleterious to protein function.

conclusionThis study among Iranian women highlights significant associations between specific polymorphisms and breast cancer susceptibility, underscoring the importance of genetic profiling for personalized prevention and treatment strategies.
