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

Significant interest in the pharmacogenetics of warfarin therapy has been triggered with the recent package insert update that highlights the potential role of pharmacogenetics in improving the safety and effectiveness of warfarin. We review the evidence of the influence of the two key genes of interest, the cytochrome P450 2C9 gene, CYP2C9, and the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 gene, VKORC1, on warfarin response and discuss the implications of current knowledge for clinical practice. The influence of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes on warfarin dose requirements has been consistently demonstrated in diverse racial and ethnic patient groups in observational studies and randomized clinical trials. Dosing algorithms have been developed that incorporate clinical, demographic, and genetic information to help select a warfarin starting dose. Furthermore, CYP2C9 variant genotypes have been associated with a significantly increased risk of serious bleeding events. However, evidence to date from prospective, controlled studies has not demonstrated an added benefit of incorporating genotype-guided therapy in improving anticoagulation control or in preventing or reducing the risk of hemorrhagic or thromboembolic complications. Research efforts designed to evaluate the effectiveness of genotype-guided therapy in improving outcomes are under way. However, the routine use of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotyping in the general patient population who begin warfarin therapy is not supported by evidence currently available.
