SLCO1B1 and MTRR gene variants in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a study on Egyptian children.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in pediatric populations and affects white blood cells. The solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) gene encodes the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), a transporter involved in drug metabolism, whereas methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) plays an essential role in DNA synthesis and methylation. This study investigated the association between pediatric ALL and genetic polymorphisms in the SLCO1B1 and MTRR genes in an Egyptian population.
methodsTetra-primer amplification refractory mutation polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) was used to genotype the SLCO1B1 (521T > C, rs4149056) and MTRR (1049 A > G, rs162036) variants in 100 pediatric ALL patients and 100 healthy controls.
resultsSignificant differences in genotype and allele frequencies were observed between cases and controls for both variants (SLCO1B1: p = 0.001; MTRR: p = 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively).
conclusionsThese findings suggest a possible association between SLCO1B1 and MTRR polymorphisms and susceptibility to pediatric ALL in the studied Egyptian population.
