Association between ESR1 rs2234693 single nucleotide polymorphism and uterine fibroids in Taiwanese premenopausal and postmenopausal women.

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
backgroundUterine fibroids (UFs) are uterine smooth muscle neoplasms that affect women, especially during the reproductive stage. Both genetic and lifestyle factors affect the onset of the disease. We examined the association between the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) rs2234693 variant (whose genotypes are TT, TC, and CC) and UFs in Taiwanese premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
methodsWe linked individual-level data of 3588 participants from the Taiwan Biobank to the National Health Insurance Research Database at the Health and Welfare Data Science Center. The association of the ESR1 rs2234693 variant and other variables with UFs was determined by multiple logistic regression, and the results were presented as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsThe 3588 participants comprised 622 cases and 2966 controls. In all the participants, the ESR1 rs2234693 TC and CC genotypes compared to the reference genotype (TT) were associated with a lower risk of UFs. However, the results were significant only for the CC genotype (OR; 95% CI = 0.70; 0.52-0.93). Noteworthy, the association of TC and CC with UFs was dose-dependent (p-trend = 0.012). Based on menopausal status, both TC and CC were significantly and dose-dependently associated with a lower risk of UFs in premenopausal women (OR; 95% CI = 0.76; 0.59-0.98 for TC and 0.64; 0.43-0.95 for CC: p-trend = 0.010).
conclusionThe TC and CC genotypes of the ESR1 rs2234693 variant may reduce susceptibility to UFs, especially in premenopausal women.
