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

When an anticancer drug is captured and transported to the interior of a cell, many biochemical processes intervene in the metabolism of the drug. First, the Phase I and Phase II enzymes produce metabolites, which are then excreted via the ABC-transporter enzymes. Finally, the remaining drug binds to its molecular target. Genetic alterations known as polymorphisms in any of the proteins that intervene in these processes can affect the efficacy of treatment. Interestingly, these polymorphisms can be detected in both normal and tumour cells. In this article, we will review the most effective method of detecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and describe the principal SNPs in enzymes involved in drug metabolism and in DNA repair. Finally, we will briefly describe promising lines of future research in this field.
