The rs8099917 polymorphism, when determined by a suitable genotyping method, is a better predictor for response to pegylated alpha interferon/ribavirin therapy in Japanese patients than other single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with interleukin-28B.

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

We focused on determining the most accurate and convenient genotyping methods and most appropriate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) among four such polymorphisms associated with interleukin-28B (IL-28B) in order to design tailor-made therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. First, five different methods (direct sequencing, high-resolution melting analysis [HRM], hybridization probe [HP], the InvaderPlus assay [Invader], and the TaqMan SNP genotyping assay [TaqMan]) were developed for genotyping four SNPs (rs11881222, rs8103142, rs8099917, and rs12979860) associated with IL-28B, and their accuracies were compared for 292 Japanese patients. Next, the four SNPs associated with IL-28B were genotyped by Invader for 416 additional Japanese patients, and the response to pegylated interferon/ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) treatment was evaluated when the four SNPs were not in linkage disequilibrium (LD). HRM failed to genotype one of the four SNPs in five patients. In 2 of 287 patients, the results of genotyping rs8099917 by direct sequencing differed from the results of the other three methods. The HP, TaqMan, and Invader methods were accurate for determination of the SNPs associated with IL-28B. In 10 of the 708 (1.4%) patients, the four SNPs were not in LD. Eight of nine (88.9%) patients whose rs8099917 was homozygous for the major allele were virological responders, even though one or more of the other SNPs were heterozygous. The HP, TaqMan, and Invader methods were suitable to determine the SNPs associated with IL-28B. The rs8099917 polymorphism should be the best predictor for the response to the PEG-IFN/RBV treatment among Japanese chronic hepatitis C patients.
