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

Prospective clinical pharmacogenetic testing of the thiopurine S-methyltransferase gene remains to be realized despite the large body of evidence demonstrating clinical benefit for the patient and cost effectiveness for health care systems. We describe an entirely microchip-based method to genotype for common single nucleotide polymorphisms in the thiopurine S-methyltransferase gene that lead to serious adverse drug reactions for patients undergoing thiopurine therapy. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and allele-specific polymerase chain reaction have been adapted to a microfluidic chip-based polymerase chain reaction and capillary electrophoresis platform to genotype the common *2, *3A, and *3C functional alleles. In total, 80 patients being treated with thiopurines were genotyped, with 100% concordance between microchip and conventional methods. This is the first report of single nucleotide polymorphism detection using portable instrumentation and represents a significant step toward miniaturized for personalized treatment and automated point-of-care testing.
