Genetic variation in FOXP3 and ROR-γ genes in pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) patients: correlation with associated cytokines.
Article in Discover oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFOXP3 and ROR-γ genes are master regulators of the Treg and Th17 differentiation, respectively. This work was planned to investigate the impact of FOXP3 (rs3761548C/A and rs3761549C/T) and ROR-γ (rs9017A/G & rs9826A/G) gene polymorphism on the vulnerability of pediatric Egyptians to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Furthermore, we evaluated the impact of these genetic variations on Treg/Th17-related cytokines.
methodsFOXP3 SNPs were genotyped using PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), while ROR-γ SNPs polymorphism were performed by PCR-sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP). An Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess the levels of Treg/Th17 associated cytokines on 128 ALL children and 124 healthy donors.
resultsCompared to controls, patients had a significant increase (p < 0.01/p < 0.05) in FOXP3rs3761548CC genotype and a significant decrease (p < 0.001/p < 0.01) inrs3761548CA genotype. A significant elevation (p < 0.001/p < 0.01) in ROR-γ rs9017AA genotype and a significant reduction (p < 0.01/p < 0.05) in rs9017AG genotype were detected in ALL patients versus controls. An insignificant change in FOXP3 (rs3761549C/T) and ROR-γ (rs9826A/G) genotypes was demonstrated between both groups. ROR-γ GG and GA haplotypes were significantly decreased (p < 0.05/p < 0.05; p < 0.05/p < 0.05) in ALL subjects compared to healthy ones. Relapsed patients had a significantly higher (p < 0.05/P < 0.05) frequency of FOXP3 rs3761548CA genotype than non-relapsed subjects. ROR-γ rs9017AG and rs9826GG genotypes might be associated with the increase in IL-23 plasma level.
conclusionsOur preliminary data provided evidence for the impact ofFOXP3 (rs3761548C/A) and ROR-γ (rs9017A/G) gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of ALL in Egyptian children. Another large-scale prospective study should be conducted to validate these findings.
