The correlation between LIN28B gene potentially functional variants and Wilms tumor susceptibility in Chinese children.

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
backgroundWilms tumor (WT) is the most common urologic cancer in children. However, genetic bases underlying WT remain largely unknown. Previous studies indicated that Lin28 homolog B (LIN28B) level is significantly elevated in some WTs. Enforced expression of Lin28b during kidney development could induce WT. Genetic variations in the LIN28B gene may be related to WT susceptibility.
methodIn this study, we aimed to assess the association between LIN28B gene polymorphisms and WT susceptibility in Chinese children. Four potentially functional polymorphisms in the LIN28B gene (rs314276 C>A, rs221634 A>T, rs221635 T>C and rs9404590 T>G) were genotyped in 145 cases and 531 cancer-free controls, using Taqman method. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength of the associations.
resultsOur results showed that the rs314276 CA genotype was associated with a decreased WT risk (CA vs CC: adjusted OR=0.65, 95% CI=0.43-0.98, P=.042). Moreover, we found that carriers of the 1-3 risk genotypes had a significantly increased WT risk when compared to the non-carriers (adjusted OR=1.51, 95% CI=1.03-2.20, P=.035). The association with risk genotypes was more predominant in children 18 month old or younger and in females.
conclusionIn summary, these results indicated that the LIN28B gene rs314276 C>A polymorphism alone and three combined polymorphisms may be able to modify WT susceptibility in Southern Chinese children. Our findings call for further validation in large studies with different ethnicities involved.
