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

The aim of present study was to evaluate the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -2578C/A, -2549I/D, -460T/C and -7C/T and VEGFR1 -710C/T polymorphisms with risk to breast cancer in North Indians. A total of 204 sporadic breast cancer patients and 204 controls were recruited for this case-control study. Significantly increased frequency of II genotype of -2549I/D polymorphism was observed in patients as compared to control individuals (odds ratio (OR) = 2.76, 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.55-4.92; p = 0.0005). VEGF -2578AA genotype (OR = 2.87; 95 % CI, 1.61-5.10; p = 0.0003) and A allele (OR = 1.65, 95 % CI, 1.25-2.18; p = 0.0004) were found to be associated with increased risk for breast cancer. Individuals carrying CC genotype (OR = 2.23, 95 % CI, 1.25-3.97) and C allele (OR = 1.42, 95 % CI, 1.07-1.87) of VEGF -460T/C polymorphism were at higher risk of breast cancer. There was no significant difference in genotype and allele distribution of VEGF -7C/T and VEGFR1 -710C/T polymorphisms between cases and control individuals (p > 0.05). Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed a strong linkage between VEGF -2549I/D and -2578C/A polymorphisms (Lewontin's [Formula: see text] = 0.99; r (2) = 0.97), -2549I/D and -460T/C ([Formula: see text] = 0.94; r (2) = 0.84), and -2578C/A and -460T/C polymorphisms ([Formula: see text] = 0.93; r (2) = 0.83). In the present study, we concluded that VEGF -2549I/D, -2578C/A and -460T/C polymorphisms are associated with risk to breast cancer in Punjab, North India.
