Limitations in Adjuvant Breast Cancer Therapy: The Predictive Potential of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics.
Article in Breast care (Basel, Switzerland). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Adjuvant therapy improves survival in breast cancer patients. However, both antihormonal agents and cytostatic chemotherapy meet with variable success. We have searched the literature for biological causes of variability in drug response. Evidence suggests that additional markers may be introduced because of their potentially predictive value in adjuvant therapy: i) overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor is likely inversely correlated to the sensitivity to estrogen antagonists; ii) presence of the GAB2 adaptor protein and of the ABCC3 and mdr-1 efflux pumps modulates taxane sensitivity in HER2-positive breast cancer; and iii) CYP2D6 genotyping should be a routine measure to avoid failure of tamox-ifen treatment. In contrast, there is little in the way of genetic evidence for differences in the pharmacokinetics of other antihormonal or cytostatic drugs. Nevertheless, genotypes may affect efficacy and toxicity of cytostatic drugs (e.g. doxorubicin), but this evidence has to be confirmed by prospective trials.
