Review in Journal of cardiovascular translational research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 influence of biological sex on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics has been previously described for each step of the metabolic cascade of pharmaceuticals. Women and men display differences in distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs for several biologic reasons. Estrogens are relevant in these processes, but cannot be regarded as the only responsible mechanism. Sex differences in the incidence of adverse drug reactions and pharmacotoxicity have also been reported for several classes of drugs and specifically for several cardiovascular preparations. Given the high incidence of cardiovascular conditions and thus the broad use of these drugs in the general population, these reports have to be considered of relevance to public health. Nonetheless, increased knowledge has not translated into the development and implementation of gender-specific pharmacologic guidelines which appear as the only effective strategy to minimize the incidence of sex-specific side effects and adverse drug reactions. In the present review, we analyze the basic aspects of sex-specific pharmacodynamics and present several examples of gender dimorphism in cardiovascular drugs. We also suggest measures to analyze and possibly improve current therapeutic strategies.
