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

The present study aimed to identify polymorphic genes encoding carbonyl reductases (CBR1, CBR3) and investigate their influence on doxorubicin disposition in Asian breast cancer patients (n = 62). Doxorubicin (60 mg/m(2)) was administered every 3 weeks for four to six cycles and the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-compartmental analysis (WinNonlin). The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to assess genotypic-phenotypic correlations. Five CBR1 (-48G>A, c.219G>C, c.627C>T, c.693G>A, +967G>A) and CBR3 (c.11G>A, c.255C>T, c.279C>T, c.606G>A, c.730G>A) polymorphisms were identified. The CBR1 D2 diplotypes were characterized by the presence of at least one variant allele at the c.627C>T and +967G>A loci. Patients in the CBR1 D1 diplotype group had significantly higher clearance (CL) normalized to body surface area (BSA) (CL/BSA[L/h/m(2)]: median 25.09; range 16.44-55.66) and significantly lower exposure levels; area under curve (AUC(0-infinity)/dose/BSA [h/m(5)]; median 15.08; range 6.18-38.03) of doxorubicin compared with patients belonging to the CBR1 D2 diplotype group (CL/BSA[L/h/m(2)]; median 20.88; range 8.68-31.79, P = 0.014; and AUC(0-infinity)/dose/BSA[h/m(5)]; median 21.35; range 9.82-67.17, P = 0.007 respectively). No significant influence of CBR3 polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin were observed in Asian cancer patients. The present exploratory study shows that CBR1 D2 diplotypes correlate with significantly higher exposure levels of doxorubicin, suggesting the possibility of lowered intracellular conversion to doxorubicinol in these patients. Further evaluation of carbonyl reductase polymorphisms in influencing the treatment efficacy of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in Asian cancer patients are warranted.
