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

opinion statementPharmacogenomics holds the promise of transforming patient care by allowing providers to tailor therapy to each individual patient based on his or her genetic information. Although no established pharmacogenomic applications in cardiovascular medicine yet exist, there are at least three emerging applications that may ultimately become routine clinical practice; these are related to warfarin, clopidogrel, and statins. Of the three, warfarin pharmacogenomics has been the most rigorously evaluated to date, with several clinical trials either completed or underway. Clopidogrel pharmacogenomics has a growing body of supporting scientific evidence and warrants evaluation in prospective clinical trials. Statin pharmacogenomics remains the least developed application, with controversy surrounding a widely marketed genetic test whose validity has been questioned by recent evidence. Providers are advised to take a "wait and see" approach to pharmacogenomics at the present time, with the expectation that it will be a few years before any cardiovascular pharmacogenomic application is unequivocally proven to be both cost-effective as well as of clinical benefit.
